Very nice. Hope to have some like that in my pond in a few years.

I wondered how long a person could keep fish in a cage. I ended up making a 40" square cage similar to your instructions and picture from a previous discussion post we had. Have had a couple CC in there for a few days and wondered how long I could keep them in there. Also have been dropping in some feed at least once a day. Sounds like for quite a while if needed. They seem fine when I checked on them.

This cage is really going to work well for the CC. Taking your advice and not releasing them after being caught, it is often very inconvenient to clean a single CC that we happen to catch while fishing for BG. (I've actually caught more CC by accident while fishing for BG or LMB than I have fishing for CC - but then we have not really fished for CC that much as the biggest are only up to about 3/4#). And wife does not believe in wasting things, so they have to be cleaned. So the cage holds them till we get a batch of them making it worth her time to clean them.

I have sure gotten a lot of good information and ideas from you esshup. Thanks.
