So I started out this season planning on running my usual cat line
And running a water line with my 6 year old son now I have a 15 and 12 year old that want to learn how to trap and so I agreed to take them over there winter break . Today started out and ended with questions and I thought I was slow before at putting in sets you throw 2 boys asking questions it really slows you down
All I can say is I hope we catch something

Word to the wise, check the Noaa northwest river forecast center. I see your end of the Willamette getting pretty wet in the next few days.

Good luck!

I know what you mean. I took my two kids out to set a half dozen coon traps after school yesterday. By the time i had answered a list of questions and let them each put a set together, we were almost out of daylight. No big deal, thats what its all about. It was a lot of fun even if it wasnt the most productive. Good luck with the lines!

A worthwhile investment you will gain more then you will ever lose.

Looking at the NWRFC graph from a little bit ago it looks like the river came up about 1 1/2 feet since yesterday. Hope you did well.

Like opening the christmas gifts early for the kids I'll bet. Especially if they aren't all empty boxes.
