Hi everyone,

My 1 acre pond is still in the process of filling. I stocked RES and FHM in the spring and I am very pleased with the FHM reproduction. I have been trying and failing to catch SFS and BNM. So far I have tried a creek on my parents property that only produced a bunch of creek chubs and crayfish, and then at the lake in the channels which are part of a large river. There I only caught LMB, BG, darters and even a tiny gar. Anyone have tips on how to better catch these in northern Indiana? I have used minnow traps and also actively seined. I would like to put YP in but don't want to do that until the forage is established. Any reliable sources to buy forage other than FHM at a reasonable price? Thanks!
