How to fish for banded killifish

Banded killifish are a small, slender topminnow of clear, quiet, well-vegetated shallows in lakes, ponds, and slow streams, schooling near the surface and feeding on tiny invertebrates and insects. They aren't an angling target - they're a forage fish, prey for bass, pike, and other predators, and occasionally used as bait. They favor clear, vegetated water. On a location page, banded killifish are context about a clear, weedy forage base rather than a species to fish for.
