How to fish for brook stickleback

Brook stickleback are a small, spiny fish of cool, weedy streams, ditches, ponds, and bog margins, where males build tiny nests of vegetation glued together to guard eggs. They tolerate quiet, weedy, sometimes low-oxygen water reasonably well. They aren't a rod target - they're a forage fish, prey for larger predators of vegetated water. On a location page, brook stickleback are context about a cool, weedy forage base rather than a species to fish for.
