    Anyone in the La Crosse area know where I can buy a minnow trap? Does Gander Mountian have them? Ace? I don’t recall seeing them in the Candy Store (ACE) but maybe I overlooked them.

    Make sure to buy the plain wire and not the black coated. My buddy and I have both types and many times the black one will be empty and the wire one is filled. I made the mistake of buying the nicer looking one but was very dissapointed.

    Good point! I almost forgot about that.

    I ran across the same thing this summer up in the BWCA. The only time the nylon coated trap caught minnows was overnight. During the day the thinner, uncoated wire traps out-fished the treated traps in an overwhelming manner.
