Cecil-they do stay on the edges quite extensively and in the pallets and rip raf. Thats not to say the don't venture our because when i feed the trout occasionaly they so swim to unsafe waters. I was not aware that trout were not big minnow eater as both of my supplies get millions delivered in the spring and feed them as a supplement. When i do trap minnows and use them to fish with you get a bite 90% of the time. Crustations and bugs are the favorite and i must have a good supply as they are always full of the.

Thanks Cecil
