Live mice as bait??

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]This Trout Eating Mice article is really interesting. But it doesn’t bode well for my Strawberry Cutt experiment.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]It seems that as a foreign/unknown food source, the trout may be wary of eating it. Also, "it’s a learned ability" (verbatim). [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Since the cutts aren’t currently eating mice, I suspect the only thing they’ll learn is: eat a mouse, get yanked out of the swimming pool.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Contrast that to the bass in your video. He sees the mouse, a normal food item, from 4 feet away and starts getting excited.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]The experiment will go on, though.[/size][/font]
