+1 on the cool water. I put a minnow trap in 2 ponds on a clients place. One went in the forage pond that only has FHM and Papershells, the other went in a pond that has FHM and GSH in preperation for stocking predators this year.

One trap and 5x-6x the amount in the other trap. One trap had 2 Papershells, the other had 0. Would I say the one pond is low on forage? Nope, just too early to tell yet.
