The Catch composition of Gura Trap was studied in the Lower Taylor Creek, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Twenty-seven traps with 1, 2 3 valves were exposed to 48 hours at a time, for 5 weeks between May and June 2012. A total of 11 species of fish belonging to 8 families were recorded in this study. The family Cichlidae had the highest number with 67.6% of the total catch. The result further showed that Tilapia guineensis was the most abundant species (41.9%) in terms of number, while Protopterus annectens was most abundant (67.16%) in weight. This study needs to be further expanded to cover all seasons, so as to know the traps and true species selectivity throughout the year.
