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......

Um, no it isn't! First of all you must have the right equipment to even try to care for these fish. Most of them will not survive in a fish tank. They also carry alot of disease, and parasites that will kill other fish. You should check with you state to see what is illegal to have as a pet. Most are outlawed. You better make sure you have a fishing license, cuz if you get caught fishing without one, your in big trouble. Plus most fish have to be a certain size before you can take them. So i think you just need to stop being cheap and go to pet-smart and buy some.

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.
You also should be sure that lake is not polluted and the fish toxic - that wouldn't save money.

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.

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. ;)

You will need a fishing license and a copy of the rules and regulations on protected species. The rangers frown on people netting and taking fish home to keep in aquariums without a permit... yes, you need a permit.

Native fish can be kept in aquariums. There are some that get too big or need too much cool water, but there are a lot of smaller species that will do fine. Check the link to see what you could keep in a tank.

You can fish to eat a fish, but I wouldn't reccomend catching one for the goldfish bowl.
Just a Thought...

yes you'll be saving but can be very dangerous if u dont know how to swim ,note also that it is not advisable to mix fishies from the lake to fishies you buy from the pet shop. cos those from the lake will endup kill those fromthe pet shop .
