Default Re: Baitfish Trap Question

is you go to some small creeks and rivers you may be able to find mosquitofish (they are a type of killifish that live in FW), net those out with any type of legal net, pretend to use them as bait, and then accidentally tip over their container to let them go into your lake or pond.
I think besides sunfish these are some of the more useful fish to have in a lake as they do eat mosquito larvae in the margins (they normally hang out in stagnant water) and are excellent prey fish for anything from bass fry to larger adult fish.

Establishing a population of those should be good for your lake.
