I've tried setting a minnow trap in Darby Creek several times myself, and have only ever caught a couple of minnows. I've used minnnow traps in other streams and have done quite well. I guess the minnows are just smarter in the Darby .

Was all the bait gone? If you leave it too long and all the bait is gone they will eventually find their way out.
