This is a spot on a public state park about 15 minutes from my house. Me and my fiance went down in here just to look around, and the other day we did some fishing, caught a few perch, channel cat, and carp. Still a little cold. But while we were fishing i decided to take some pics. Even got to see a mink strolling through. It didnt seem to care we were there, even stopped briefly for pics. What do you guys think? Alot of tracks there too. Im mainly going to be setting 110s for mink/muskrat. But might set out a few footholds for fox and yote. Might set 1 330 for beaver. And was thinking a foothold on that island for coon. Any tips or ideas are very much appreciated.

My kinda creek. I always thought mink used those high exposed roots like in the one photo, just never figured out a set for that situation.

Looks like you've got fluctuations in water levels judging from the lack of vegetation on the bank. I'd revisit this area once a week for awhile to get a feeling for how much fluctuation you have. Especially after a rain, take a look to see how long it takes for the river to drop back to whatever is normal. This will help you later during trapping season to judge where you can place your trap if making sets along the water's edge.

Looks like a nice spot!

Yes its amazing back in there! This will be my first time ever setting for mink, so ill figure something out! I havent really trapped since i was in high school.

Well this all floods through the rainy seasons, but it drains into a huge lake about a mile down creek. But ill be going here fishing through the summer, and will hit it in the fall during hunting. So ill keep an eye on it. I do alot of squirrel hunting a little up stream, and it gets quite soggy there. I would assume it wouldnt take long to drain out, especially if the dam is open on the lake, which this one almost always is.

sky's the limit hope it looks that good in the fall

Im hoping so! Sure looks like alot of activity from many different critters!
