Thanks again for the info. The duck weed isn't present at this time but by late summer the pond usualy has a good coating of it. Good advice on not contaminating the target pond with it. I always figured duck weed only prospered on shallow swampy ponds like this one. I can easily trap the minnows as screen them so that isn't a big deal.
Now I'm wondering about how to prevent the duck weed from taveling along for the ride. Hmmm...maybe I could "wash" the minnows by placing them in a holding tank of tap water that has been treated to remove the chemicals and is aerated, then dip netting them out into still another holding tank for travel to the target pond? I'll try to figure something out but would be interested in your ideas.
