A friend of mine owns a pond that they will be filling in soon. It is loaded with large bullfrog tadpoles(4" ). I am wondering if anyone knows how to make a trap to catch these in bulk. I can catch some with long handled nets but it is very time consuming. There is little brush on the shorlines to sneak up on them. I have tried setting umbrella nets, but that has been unsuccessful, as the pond is deep and shorelines slope fast. I know there has to be some sort of trap available, or maybe a modified minnow trap.Any suggestions, please let me know.I can be reached directly at xthunder2@juno.com
