If you feed in your pond, use some of the floating food in the minnow trap. Place it parallel to shore, in about 24" of water. If nothing is in the trap in a few hours, move the trap and try again. I've put minnow traps in a pond with 0 results, but moved it to the other side of the pond and had 20+ fish in it.
