What Is the Minnow Trap Used For?

A minnow trap samples small fish without anyone standing in the water: fish swim in through the entrance hole, often drawn by a little bait, and find it hard to swim back out. That makes it useful where banks are steep or water is too deep for a seine, and for comparing catches between sites or times of day. Traps set side by side in different habitats give a simple, repeatable survey method for a school or college ecology project.

Place the trap in shallow water near cover such as weeds or roots, and tie it to the bank with cord so it can be recovered. Check it within a few hours rather than leaving fish inside for long, then count, measure and release them where they were caught. The galvanised mesh copes with repeated wetting; rinse and dry it after use. Always check local rules on fish sampling and supervise students near water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gee Minnow Trap made of?
The Gee Minnow Trap is made of galvanised 1/4 in square wire mesh. The galvanised coating helps the trap cope with repeated use in water, and the small mesh holds minnows and other small fish once they are inside.

What size is the Gee Minnow Trap?
The Gee Minnow Trap is 16 in long and 9 in wide, with a 7/8 in entrance hole. It is compact enough to carry several traps in one field bag and set them at different points around a pond.

How does the Gee Minnow Trap work?
Small fish swim into the Gee Minnow Trap through its entrance hole and find it difficult to swim back out. Students simply set the trap in the water, leave it for a short time, and return to count the catch.

How long should the Gee Minnow Trap be left in the water?
For teaching surveys, check the Gee Minnow Trap within a few hours so fish are not held for long. Record, measure and release the catch at the same spot, and remove the trap when the session ends.

Does the Gee Minnow Trap come with bait or cord?
The listing for the Gee Minnow Trap describes the wire-mesh trap only and does not mention bait or cord. Most groups use a length of cord to anchor it to the bank; ask us if you need accessories.
