A small, tolerant minnow found in slow, weedy streams and lakes. Often caught incidentally when fishing with small hooks and worms.
No stocking records are on file for Brassy Minnow.
This is common for several reasons: this species may reproduce naturally and not require stocking (e.g. Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike), it may be managed under a different program not tracked here, or records may predate our database. For the most current data, check the Michigan DNR Stocking Database directly.
