Are they new style traps or Ak #9’s?

Not the best pic but it's the only one I have. I had a good write up about the day and the way I had the trap set but once again I hit the back button by mistake and lost it! Too tired to rewrite so when I feel like it I'll try again. Main highlights included walking the lake edge towards the trap and seeing the edge of the catch circle slowly pop into view. Also the set itself was all on the lake ice. Anchored the trap with a 10 inch piece of thick willow pushed lengthwise through a barely big enough hole in the ice. Once through I pulled the chain which was attached to the center of the willow and the willow centered itself under the ice. First night catch of my life with a brand new trap. Should've taken Fiona's phone for more pictures from the lake.

So just a little stick under the ice is the anchor?

Nice fur ev n the hounches are well furred it must have had a good summer eating dog food. Better than those mangy dogs you had from MacKenzie last year though. Good catch
