Due to the dynamics of small "bait"-sized minnow populations (year-to-year and even month-to-month and maybe week-to-week fluctuations) it is difficult to estimate abundnace. Population fluctuations may depend on what the bait dealers have in stock at any given time.; Data Source: Jesse Purvis, Aquatic Ecologist, 11/18/2010.
