Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Minnow ID?

They look to be 3" long. Get yourself a No. 14 hook attached to 2 - 4 lb test line, and put a small piece of worm on hook. Catch one by hook and line, they will be easy to catch this way. One of several of us can send you a #14 or #16 hook if you don't have one. You can have the hook in 2 days by 1st class mail; just email us your address.

If the fish are BG or some sort of sunfish, they will easily go in a drab colored wire mesh fish trap that is baited with pieces of bread. Every pond owner should have a wire mesh fish trap. If they don't have one they are not a very good pond manager in my opinion. Wire mesh traps are the very best way to sample various species of small panfish and minnows.
