Now that Fish Heads in Petaluma is closed, is there an affordable place to buy live minnows in Sonoma County?  I must have called six stores yesterday and nobody sell minnows anymore.  Had to reach out to Clear Lake and San Rafael to find an outlet.  San Rafael is pretty expensive and Clear Lake is too far.

Do you have any minnow honey holes, looks like a trap might be in store.  Inconvenienct yet fulfilling if you find em’.

I don’t think so. I was in there not too long ago and didn’t see anything that was remotely fishing related. Not like the old days.
But you can get some over priced touristy crap and a $15 sandwich.

Amen!

And no more minnows there.

Thanks to everyone for your help here.  It looks like I won't be able to just walk in and out on a moments notice anymore to buy minnows. It will take some planning the next time and a little patience on my part.
