Proir to freeze up from my canoe Thx I've never trapped open water rats. Always been shallow ponds and streams Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!! If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

I'm guessing bank dens, primarily. Looks like it could be awesome....but there are places that look awesome, that won't hold a rat (for some reason). Last edited by Calvin; 08/02/18 02:24 PM.

Plus there are beaver Have been seeing rats there since I started fishing it 30 years ago, but now that I own some of it and got permission from others to trap there sections Across the road from this is a 200-300 acre cattail marsh also Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

You'll figure out where the rats are when season comes around if you look. Last edited by SNIPERBBB; 08/02/18 11:11 PM. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

I am trying same thing this year because I am tired of packing up and down small creeks and ponds. I have a huge area with many more cat tails. Canoeing it next week to see how easy it will be. Wish I had more time to trap....
