How to fish for rosyface shiner

Rosyface shiner are a slim shiner of clean, well-oxygenated riffles and runs in streams and rivers, where breeding males flush rosy-red on the head and body. They favor clean flowing water and are sensitive to siltation, so their presence points to a reasonably healthy stream. They're a forage fish, not a rod target - prey for smallmouth bass and other stream predators. On a location page, rosyface shiner are a forage species and a modest water-quality signal in clean, flowing water.
