Idea for trapping out fish in a water garden pond
 
 
Best place to install a fish trap :
 
It has a funnel entrance that allows the fish to be trapped.

You can add bait to the net to attract the fish. A few pellets of food and you're good to go!

To make the opening larger, I've attached a rope to tighten the funnel. This makes it easier for fish to enter (after a few tests)!

Best place to install a fish trap :
 
The cable I've added allows me to throw the fish trap into the water and place it properly.

The cable also allows me to remove the net with the fish without having to enter in the pond!

When placing a collapsible fish trap, I'd recommend a spot that's at least partially submerged in water.

The best place to set the trap should be areas in the pond which are frequented by fish.

Best place to install a fish trap :
 
For small fish including juveniles, set the trap along the edges of the pond.

Fish that enter the trap pass through the funnel and can't find their way out.

This fish trap is practical, lightweight, and easy to clean. Happy trapping!
