Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait A Small Issue

RC,

I don't see why that won't work. I did something like that many years ago on the lake at our family farm. I built about a 1-foot cube shaped cage out of 1/4 inch hardware cloth -- same kind of material as my minnow traps. As I caught shiners in the creek leading into the lake, I'd put them in the cage. I did that for a couple of seasons, and we always had plenty of minnows when we needed them. There were very few morts.
