Son in law caught a nice SMB today. We are catching Golden Shiners in the trap in the background (along with lots of tiny HBG & many many BF tadpoles). The GS make good bait for the YP and the SMB.

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.
