Read about being able to successfully trap forage, fatheads and bluegills, out of forage ponds to transfer into main pond. Noted that if fish are eating from feeders they could easily be trapped. Someone please send info covering size, material, and method of use!

For larger numbers of forage collection, there are some B shaped or clover leaf traps that are several times larger, and more expensive than the walmart kind. You can also get some for small bluegill as well. cost is about $170 and can be shipped. fishmgr@hotmail.com
