Default Waaayy too many mosquito fish!

Oh Bonnie, I wish that were the case here. I have several bullfrogs & many
tadpoles. Mind you, I have a hard time telling the difference between
bullfrogs & greenfrogs. I have the photos, but it's no use with me, I can't
tell the difference.

I put in 5 mosquito fish 4 summers ago. Now I have a million. They are
smart. I have tried several ways to catch them. All work for 4-5 days.
I've done commercial minnow traps, homemade nets that are baited, the
inverted bottle. I even resorted to putting a net on the end of a pole

and
scooping them out. I catch about 11 on each pass. Reduces the

population
for a day and makes me feel better.

If you find ANY thing that will eat them, get a patent.

Bullfrogs do a good job of keeping them in check in
my pond :-)
