All info greatly appreciated. I am thinking my best approach will be something like the clover minnow trap. Looks nice n simple. If I have a couple in and can get a fair amount every now n then that will fit my bill. The pond is small so if I'm being realistic I'm not going to be pulling out a thousand at a time or anything extensive like that. If I can grow some to bigger size and transport them over that would be great. Their just an addition to the forage bg in the pond now. Plus the pond is right in front of my parents camper and they love sitting there tossing a handful of feed in and watching them all come running.
