Se’if 1א׳

אֵין צָדִין דָּגִים מִן הַבֵּיבָרִים. הַגָּה: אֲפִלּוּ בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁאֵינָם מְחֻסָּרִים צֵידָה, לְפִי שֶׁהַבֵּיבָר רָחָב הַרְבֵּה וְהַדָּגִים נִשְׁמָטִים אֵילָךְ וָאֵילָךְ (הַמַּגִּיד פ"ב).

Laws of preparation on Yom Tov. 17 sections: One may not trap fish from fish pools. Rema: Even in a place where they do not require trapping, since the pool is very wide and the fish slip away in all directions. (HaMagid ch. 2)

Se’if 2ב׳

דָּגִים וְעוֹפוֹת וְחַיָּה שֶׁהֵם מֻקְצֶה, אֵין מַשְׁקִים אוֹתָן בְּיוֹם טוֹב וְאֵין נוֹתְנִים לִפְנֵיהֶם מְזוֹנוֹת שֶׁמָּא יָבֹא לִקַּח מֵהֶם. וְכָל שֶּׁאָסוּר לְאָכְלוֹ אוֹ לְהִשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בּוֹ מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מֻקְצֶה, אָסוּר לְטַלְטְלוֹ.

Fish, fowl, and animals that are muktzeh — one may not water them on Yom Tov and may not place food before them, lest one come to take from them. And anything that is forbidden to eat or use because it is muktzeh is forbidden to handle.

Se’if 3ג׳

אֲפִלּוּ סְפֵק צֵידָה אָסוּר; כְּגוֹן מְצוּדוֹת חַיָּה דָּגִים וְעוֹפוֹת שֶׁהָיוּ פְּרוּשׂוֹת מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב וּלְמָחָר מוֹצֵא בָּהֶם, אֲסוּרִים אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יָדוּעַ שֶׁנִּצּוֹדוּ מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם. וְאִם מָצָא הַמְּצוּדוֹת מְקֻלְקָּלוֹת מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב, בְּיָדוּעַ שֶׁמֵּעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב נִצּוֹדוּ.

Even doubtful trapping is forbidden — for example, traps for animals, fish, and fowl that were spread out before Yom Tov, and the next day one finds things in them — they are forbidden unless it is known that they were trapped while it was still day. If the traps are found damaged from before Yom Tov, it is evident that they were trapped before Yom Tov.
