Re: bug results! finally a fish for you to identify
probably took too long to check the trap. was the bait still there? if it was, then that would mean there was lack of minnows present.
if it were me, i would check a few hours later. as the minnows find the food, they go nuts and congregate around the source...after the food is gone, they disperse and in something like a plastic bottle, some will definitely find their way back out.
the mud and rocks on the ice in the winter should have no effect on the minnow spawning activity. once the ice melts, it would just settle at the bottom, becoming part of the substrate.
give it a couple days and when the water levels and clarity return to normal, try again.
