A good strong dip net in any thick stand of plants, or piles of debris, leaves just pull the net thru the cover and sort out the fish. That can require good eyesight as they tend to blend in. If in an area they live you should have no problem finding them.Can anyone recommend methods for collecting eastern mudminnows? Sorry if this was already covered in another post.

Keepnatives, I would like to collect some Mudminnows, and live in the southern adirondacks, could you recommend some pond lakes or streams to find them.A good strong dip net in any thick stand of plants, or piles of debris, leaves just pull the net thru the cover and sort out the fish.

Yes, we've got a couple of months to go. I have a one acre pond, but also have a tiny shallow pond with nothing in it. would like to put in mudminnows and see if they multiply. The water ph runs about 5 to 5.5 and they are suppose to be tolerant of that.I'd much rather join you but its got to be a bit frozen up there yet isn't it?
Maybe we could get together to collect in the spring.
