How to fish for redfin shiner

Redfin shiners are a small stream-and-lake minnow and, like the other shiners here, a forage species rather than an angling target. They matter as part of the food web - prey for bass, pike, walleye, and larger sunfish - and occasionally as bait. Their presence on a location page is context about a healthy forage base supporting predator growth, not something to fish for directly.
