So you want bugs? I just started trying the maggot pole idea that I think we talked about on another thread. I've been trapping the overproduction out of my pond and had been burying them. Then I got to thinking about the maggot feed idea. So why waste the fish? Now I put the fish on an expanded metal mesh platfrom hanging out over the water. In a couple of days you get lots of juicy maggots. The theory is when they crawl out of the carcass to burrow into the dirt they fall into the water. Last weekend there was a constant flow of the little guys into the water and the fish had a feast. Since then there has appeared the occasional odd dead squirrel, chicken, whatever else works. Gotta put it somewhere where you won't spend much time too close but it's best to put it where you normally do the feeding.
