Would like to begin thinning out pond quickly. Sometimes ponds are like women, a small one takes less to manage and more time for pleasure

I like to keep traps simple, use zip ties and make a cylinder out of plastic mesh from Lowes, shape your cone and zip tie into the cylinder, put mesh over the other end and just tie the top part so that you can flip it up, use tiny bungees to hold the door shut. I used a wood hoop from wally world craft dept. to help keep the round shape.
