I'm thinking maybe a fish weir? Saw it while I was fishing today in the Rocky Mountains. It was on one of the forks of a river. Also saw lots of wildlife including a grizzly, a moose, lots of deer, ruffed grouse and spruce grouse. Last edited by Wild_Idaho; 07/20/20 01:57 AM.

LOL... out west some "rivers" you can nearly jump/cast across, to me, they were creeks or streams. Took me a bit to adjust when I lived out there after being raised in the east where you cannot cast across a "river". I think it simplifies G&F info by naming headwaters the same www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions.
