catching/traping fish sunfish.?

OK i have a lake house in fact 2 on diffrent lakes in new york, there is always tons of sunfish and bluegill and what not on our house but on the other side the game fish live monster size bass and trout and what not, but i was wondering, since i have always 100s of little sun fish i want to catch them and keep them as pets is there any way to do it, i bought a metal cage to trap fish i put bread but they didn't eat it and they never came in. If thise metal cages work, then what should i put in them. If they don't what should i use to catch them. I check the rules and regulations and all that, it is a private late with only 2 house on it. I bought really small fly fishing hooks but only the big ones bight and the little ones stay away.

any thing would help..
thx

Is this metal cage a trap with funnel shaped opening, If so it should work. Are you placing it too deep in the water? It should be in shallow water not over 2 or 3 feet down next to bank or suspended under dock. Bread should work wonders. Canned dog food with dozens of large holes chopped in it is another possiblity but the bread is good.

You could try an umbrella net. Known here as a dip net. For very small sunfish it should work and work fast. Use bread wetted and weighted with a small flat rock.

Try casting net. Difficult to master. Get the smallest diameter you can find like 5 foot.

Key species: the rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass, northern pike, channel catfish, bullhead catfish, the Whitefish Mountain

Yampa River in northwestern Colorado has all the characteristics of a stream of first class. He has a great variety offering great trout fishing and excellent fishing for bass, pike and catfish. The Yampa to Stagecoach Reservoir is actually neither more nor less than a typical trout stream in the mountains, and there are many rainbow trout in small wild and for all. Then Stagecoach Reservoir, fishing is downstream, and the section of the dam Steamboat Springs is the best known and most part of the river caught. This part of the river offers a great shot fishing net and put in large rainbows and browns. This stretch of river is the only section that are likely to see fishermen in the state. Steamboat Hayden, the river is really at its best. Throughout this section has the two populations in the world class trout and pike. And water temperatures are near habitat Perfect for both species. This area is not exploited, and both trout and pike can be very easy to catch. between Hayden and Craig, the Yampa starts to become a fishery. hot water. The upper half of this section is very good trout fishing, but the more you Craig, the lowest population. Fishing in the City of Craig is possible because there are several access areas. Here you will find lots of pike, large and small mouth, and trout fishing may be very low to very good. This measured downstream, the best trout fishing is best in spring. Then Craig, the Yampa is a river hot water. The ten or fifteen miles below the mouth Craig has many small and pike, and a small population of trout. Soon the river becomes very silty, and replace catfish smallmouth and pike.

Access is easy along the Yampa River. Each section of the river above the access ford major, finding a place to fish is not a big problem. Stagecoach Steamboat Springs, fisherman fly tend to do better and is often midging form go. should be noted that the spinners and spoons may well work here. Steamboat then, most trout are taken on spinners or worms, fly fisherman, but you can still do well. Rapalas work well for small mouth, and imitations of the mouse and the frog in a variety of colors running well for pike.
