I have now put 3 minnow traps in my pond. I am making an attempt to catch a creek chub. Though I understand the results of my scientific study will never be 100% conclusive, I do know that if I were to confirm a creekchub minnow in a trap, that would definitely raise the possibility of my hooking a creekchub. It will be very interesting to see what I catch, there may be some other elusive creatures lurking in the shadows of the pondweed........The results may scare me!

I had no idea I had GSH in my pond, especially of the sizes I have caught, discovery is a BLAST!! I will provide further photographic evidence from here out! And if I in fact do have creekchubs in my pond, they will be a welcome addition to my population. If the creek chubs got here naturally, via swimming up my drainage pipe, they were able to make a 3' jump without Salmon stairs!
