Many fish eat red, green, brown, and blue algae, but some fish prefer certain types. Most saltwater fish that are carnivores will never eat algae under any circumstances. Carnivores’ diets consist of shrimp, plankton, or tiny crustaceans.
River fish generally eat smaller prey such as insects, crustaceans, baitfish, and other aquatic organisms.

What is the best bait for stream fishing?

How do you catch a small fish in a creek?
Start with small lures, and then gradually work up as you gain confidence. In cooler creeks, tiny jigs, spinners, or small crankbaits may be the ticket for trout or smallmouth bass. In warmer creeks, white bass will hammer underspin jigs or small spoons.

Can you catch fish from the rocks?
With the right skills, you can rock fish with just a line, a hook, and bait or lure. However, a rod will make your life easier, allowing you to cast your line further out to sea, where most fish hide.

Are fish hurt by catch and release?
After being caught and released by an angler, fish may die for a variety of reasons. The most common causes of death are the physiological stresses caused by the struggle during capture and injuries caused by the hook or the angler. Some fish may die even though they appear unharmed and despite efforts at revival.
