i have creeks in my area full of what i call creek minnows. my father and i used to net hundreds of them when i was a kid and use them for creek fishing because they were very tough on the hook. my question is would you recomend putting wild minnows like that in a new pond or is it recomended to go to my local fish farm and drop some cash for farm raised minnows. my pond doesnt have water yet and when its starting to hold water, i was going to get a good minnow population going before i put my crappies in.
