I began stocking my pond mid Spring. I was wanting to put FHM along with my CNBG but could not locate any FHM. May 12th I released 1100 (1-3") CNBG in my 1.25 acre pond (Build thread:

I have been noticing a lot of activity along the water's edge the past two months. I can not tell if the BG have spawned or if it is minnows from a near by BOW.
We have been receiving a lot of rain lately and I noticed huge schools of small fish where run off is draining into the pond.
I snapped a few pictures with my phone, many of the fish had scattered when I walked up but I got a few in the pic.
I am thinking about setting out a few minnow traps to see what they are. I will post pictures of what I find. Is there any harm in doing this?
I may also set a few in the gully that runs down my property line (where I think the minnows may have come from) since I see many BG and LMB 4-6" fingerlings every time I walk down it.
