How to catch minnows with fishing rod?

Question

I go into the stream behind my house and theres like minnows 3-4 inches im gonna go with my fishing rod what size and bait should i use thx

Answer 1

hilarious!!!

Answer 2

This one's easy.  Use a size 32 hook with a tiny piece of worm or bread or bacon, with no sinker, no swivel, and no bobber.  Just line and hook.  A long shanked hook is best.

Have fun!

Answer 3

use a really small hook with a small weight 2 ft. above it.  put a little piece of earthworm on.

Answer 4

Kind of a "SLOW" way of going about it- isn't it? Why don't you just go to your nearest pet-supply store, buy a cheap hand net- & then come home & scoop them up- 3 or 4 at a time! ?!  :)

Answer 5

i've never heard of fishing for minnows.Usually people use a net.If you don't have one use a bucket.

Answer 6

try a fly rod with real small flies

Answer 7

Are you sure they are normal bait minnows and not baby trout?  And if they are you should leave them alone and let them grow.  If they are minnows than you will not catch them on a pole.  There mouth is the size of a pea maximum.  Throw out some fish food so they group up, and scoop them up with a net.

Answer 8
