Ric's right on both counts. I should have said "helping keep" instead of "keeping" and mink would be a concern with ornamental fish ponds. Witnessed mink predation put the hurt on a friend's expensive ornamental fish; but I'm not worried about mink hurting my fish population in any of my fishing ponds.

As of yet, I still don't have any significant muskrat numbers in my lake. If I do get them, I will wind up setting out a bunch of 110 traps and hoping I don't catch mink. That is a strange change from my youth when I set out muskrat traps dreaming about catching mink.
