I wish! If I can ever get my pond finished, I'll be contacting you guys to ship me fish! I'd love 1-2 butterfly koi and shubinkins, maybe a few comets. I love long flowing fins.

I have used a minnow trap previous years and it worked great. However, last years fish must have been smarter that previous years because I couldn't catch them all and now I have 10 extra that I don't need. @Tula , I also dread lowering the water level to try to catch them because I worry about the water quality for the bigger fish if I do that.

@catbird what a pretty pond and nice fish you have.

Bread for bait?

Believe it or not, I did not bait it with anything. But bread seems like a good idea! I just had to check the trap a lot before they found their way out.
