I will show you how to make a simple fish trap.

Supplies

You will need

  1. a 17 oz plastic bottle
  2. a knife
  3. a couple of small stones
  4. Bait (Since this fish trap can mainly catch guppies, I would suggest using bread to bait it.)

The First Step

Take the plastic bottle and use the knife to cut to first 3 or so inches off make sure that the nose of the bottle is included in what you are cutting off.

Second Step

Drop the small stones in the bottom of the split bottle

3rd Step

Insert the top half of the bottle into the bottom half of the bottle so that it locks in place make sure that the nose is facing the stones

Last Step

Bait the fish trap and put the completed fish trap into a body of water with fish and check every other day.
