Good thread with relevant information. Following along. I’ve at different times suspected I was overstocked with YP, and at other times wondered if I had poor survival. I’ve never had much success catching YP in traps.
Bill, what do you bait the traps with? I’ve always used my fish food from the feeder.
Thanks
Jeff

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
