My grandkids lay on the dock with little hand nets and catch them. They are about the size of a drivers license. Then they throw them in the woods �to feed the raccoons�. We catch 100s with worms under bobbers. Most of those end up in the woods too. They are way too small to even attempt to clean. We used to catch YP. I may end up with a LMB, HBG pond, may as well add CC and make it like most Missouri ponds. It was fun while it lasted. I should have never added the dang HBG.
12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs) I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023.
