I ordered a new trap. It’s larger, and has 8 entrances. I’ll try the new trap when it warms up, then I’ll stop after I see any ribbons this spring.
I’ll try it near the bank in 4’ of water, with various types of food. I need to cull HBG and very large GS also, so get two things accomplished.
Thanks,
Jeff

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
