Looks like there are plenty of micro options in the area too. Thanks for posting the tenkarabum site and the NPR article, both were great reads.

I learned about micro fishing from the Tenkarabum websiteChris sells micro hooks that are not any smaller than a size20, but have a design that allows hooking of fish that can't get a size 20 hook in their mouth.I've purchased some, but I'm afraid to open the package. I think I will loose them all.I like the "most species challenge" I've caught quite a few dace (black nose and rosy sided) and enough shiners and chub to qualify as a bait shop.CarlCarl--Carl ZmolaOn Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 11:00 AM, TurbineBlade <doubl...@gmail.com> wrote:--I'm a Missourian and am a bit rusty, but that darter looks a hell of a lot like a rainbow darter to me.There is one tpfr member who rarely posts, but he's another bearded "Dan" and he's an educator somewhere in Virginia (can't remember where). I remember him talking about one of his "as many species as possible" challenges, and I think the two of us were cut from the same cloth in that respect (i.e., I am totally willing to try to pick-off creek chubs if it seems like fun at the time). Many cyprinids are active throughout the winter -- just walk along a creek in January and you'll see that even though your normal targets are absent (or not moving much), that's not the case for some of the smaller creek critters ;).Just so you know tp -- you've posted a subject that will be perceived (and contributed to) about to the extent as a thread reading "Does anyone know what this (below) is?"
