Set 21 double floats and two 220s today, things are just thawing here, got a little rain today with some more in the forecast, the water is rising today. I’ll try to take a few photos each day, seen a few rats today while I was setting, quite a number of bald eagles , immature and adults.

Started day out spilling lava java on my arm in truck, made .45 cents on cans from boat launch, someone likes twisted tea, had a good first check, water is still rising, set 10 more double floats today. Lot of stuff floating today, one big one snagged in middle .

All males except for one.

Nice pics thanks for sharing.

Put up fur in shed today, thunder storms, wind and rain,nice in here.

Nice looking beaver and nice rats.

Water was crazy high today,13 on a two day soak. To quote my future son in- law you gotta love a good struggle .get ready Walleyed the water is on Its way.

Had a nice check today 19 and on a 2 day soak, going to have to work a little later tonight, neighbor kid has been bringing beaver , fleshed three of them before my check today, kinda was hoping wind would die down.

Keep on getting it done newfox. Nice catch

Nice

Good deal. Thanks for sharing, I’m loving the pictures.Did you make the adjustable rat stretchers???

Starting to look like a fur shed, got the first bunch off stretchers and got a new batch on, stretched a few beaver, check day tomorrow. Yes I made the stretchers Clint.

Great thread Newfox

This float has held a double two checks in a row.

This is how much water we have lost in 48 hours.
The hardhat set
Had a great day, 11 rats today, everything is fresh baited and floating, warm and rainy the rest of today and then we have some snow coming in late tonight and tomorrow, check again Friday.

My daughter and my granddaughter stopped by for a visit.

I am envious of your stretchers and your granddaughter!!!!

Nice. Thanks for sharing

Hardhat sets are very difficult to find nowadays. Thank you for sharing

Are those baits apple or parsnips or something altogether different?
In the spring do you like a muskrat gland type lure or a food lure for floats?

Also like your adjustable rat stretchers


Thanks

The photos of the fleshed rats don't show any scars or bite marks. Is that what you are seeing too? Nice to have good spring rats not all bit up. Population must be in a good but healthy and stable place.
