good read thanks for sharing

Wylee yes I made the boards, mostly basswood ,clear pine works good too.
Trapper Dahlgren, I hoped that you been watching, how are you feeling, been praying for you.

Water still dropping , sure was a beautiful day!!




Managed 6 rats today my neighbor Gary adjusted lower unit shifting linkage and the fee was a ride along on my spring river line,now I just owe him dinner for removing,cleaning,and replacing carbs.i thought the white-tipper was cool.

looked to be a beautiful day out on the river-I am jealous!

do you anchor the board or let them freely drift along the edges and they dont travel that far?

Water seems to have leveled off but fairly low for this time of the year.beaver float with bait on the trigger was sprung,started pulling today plan is to pull most of the river line tomorrow,I have some beaver to catch and the season ends on the 7th, I’m just 10 short of my goal of 100 might have to leave a few floats or catch a few beaver pond rats,still catching some real nice rats ,sure was a nice day to be a trapper.


Four today

One of my crossover sets,river is about 20 feet behind me.

Buck mink, I anchor floats to tree with about 10 feet of 16 guage wire, I tie about four to five feet above water and adjust as nessesary so I can keep boards floating and be able to reach tie off.our water can rise 3-4 feet in a night.usually reseads slower.

Got all but 5 floats pulled today caught 4 rats mink was in process of eating one but we took it back.enjoyed posting the pics thanks for looking.


Now I’ve got to clean up.

loved the ride along! thank you!
