Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations FHMs

I have found the FHM are very slow and easy to catch. Over the last three years they have all but become non existent in our perch pond.

They are prolific but they do swim much slower. I think in the winter months up here they cant get into the rocks as easy as the shiners and they get eaten up.

In ten sets with the minnow trap we may get one of two still but mostly common shiners and emerald shiners. These guys are much much faster and more of a challenge to catch.

If one had a forage pond these would be great but with predators present it just a mater of time and they will be gone.
