First I would check to see if the "minnows" are truly minnows or small sunfish of some sort that swam in from the other pond via the swale connection. A sort trapping session with a minnow trap baited with bread, dog-cat food, or fish food and a picture of the results should provide you with answers. Stocking of northern ponds for general fishing can be different fish ratios than for southern ponds or for ponds with speciality angling goals.
