I can't say that I have a method of predictably and reliably catching
juvenile gar, probably because I don't see them much in wading-depth
water. But I did catch one once with a blind dipnet sweep under a tree
root. The water dropped off sharply under the root but I was able to
get close enough to reach underneath. Boy, was I surprised!

How do you catch juvenile gar? I have never caght a gar in a seine or minnow trap. I would like to find away to catch juvenile or hatchling gar and raise them till they get to big and release them if legal into the same waters. I looked for an article on garsin the index of nanfa articles and found nothing but species descriptions and how to fish for adult gar. Could anyone describe how and where they have caught baby gar predictably over time? Thanks John. By the way I appreciate the work of all our volenteers, especially those who make this posting possible!1 /----------------------------------------------------------------------- / This is the discussion list of the North American Native Fishes / Association (NANFA).
