Good point Snipe. The setup likely won't be in vain.
I am thinking that I may set up a small test cage in a sizeable baby pool I was using for my ducks, although I'll have to situate it where they can't get to it. I will put a fraction of the thousand(s) minnows I purchase (100 or so?) in that to see how much they are producing and what the fry do as far as remaining in or leaving through the mesh.
I have the week to get this stuff constructed and can pick up the minnows next weekend. I wish I had the time to get er done after work today and tomorrow morning because now I'm antsy to get this going but I will spend my time and not do a sloppy job. Who knows, if it works well enough, maybe I'll build a couple more and put them along the other ends of my pond.
I'll check back and let people know how things are going.
