I've heard rumours of a minnow shortage this year in the Minnesota area. One source said that only 40% of the usually supply would be available. Anyone have any additional imformation on this subject? Will this affect leeches too?

Yea I was in Redwing to the Four Seasons sport shop and got the same story. They are selling a lot of bait right now and it must be hard for them to get enough. The bait stores I was in at Shakopee said they had plenty and no trouble getting any but they are not selling near as much volume right now.

there will be a shortage because all your small shallow lakes and ponds that the bait dealrs trap them from froze out this year so it will be hard to get them. thats why the state should allow minnows to be brought in from out of state.
