You can make good sets at the beaver dams after freeze up and before the ice is strong enough to walk on to make sets at the house. Dam sets after freeze up are best made where the water is always flowing-like on a creek.That way the water keeps flowing and keeps your sets working. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
