Is it ok to get free fish from a lake instead of buying I think it would save money2007-11-24 23:37:39Answers:

If you are talking about for food, sure! just be sure to check the lake's creel limits( RESTRICTIONS on the size & type of fish you are allowed to keep) If you are talking about to bring them home for a fish tank, absolutely not advisable. Wild minnows of any kind will die. Even if they survive the shock of being removed from their enviornment, you wouldn't be able to feed them properly. Comercial fish food won't work. Believe me, I tried the same thing as a kid..

It's called fishing.

I don't think ANYTHING is wrong with getting fish from the lake. But, I think you need to be respectful of the fish at the same time. If they are going to be pets, make sure you know how to take care of them properly. If they are going to be dinner, make sure you know how to prepare them properly, so that you don't get sick. Wouldn't want you to blame someone else for your "hankering" for fish. ;)

It probably would die in a short time

You mean like, to domesticate it? It's "okay" but the fish would be a lot harder to care for. You would need an actual pond, it wouldn't survive in a regular fish tank. Fish aren't that expensive, go to Petsmart and spend the $5 on a pretty one.

it doesn't always save money after you are done paying for a fishing license and buying the fishing tackle. Most people do it for fun and if they get some fish good to eat that is a bonus.
