How to fish for brassy minnow

Brassy minnow are a small, brassy-flanked minnow of quiet, vegetated pools, bog margins, and cool, sluggish streams, feeding on algae and organic material off the bottom. They aren't an angling target - they're a forage fish, prey for larger predators, and occasionally used as bait. They tolerate quiet, weedy, gently-degraded water reasonably well. On a location page, brassy minnow are context about a quiet-water forage base rather than a species to fish for.
