Micro Species

Micro species are fish that don't get big enough to be a standard-sized fish species. In general, this means they can't reach a pound in weight, or that they can only be caught by using highly specialized tiny-fish tactics. The goal of roughfish.com is to make neglected sportfish species more popular with the angling community at large. The emphasis we place on battling large and impressive specimens is essential to that goal. Micros are listed here mainly for identification purposes, although some anglers find catching them to be entertaining.
