I went for a little hike on the close line to check a place I never been at before. The snow is gone in the high ground but still about a foot and a half in the low. This spot looks like it had beaver years ago where I went in,so no doubt there are beaver either up or downstream.I will check with the canoe once all the ice is off. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2021/04/full-21521-93174-dscf4608.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2021/04/full-21521-93175-dscf4610.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2021/04/full-21521-93176-dscf4607.jpg) It was light rain today but nice in the bush. There are a couple nice spots I seen for jackpot sets if I trap there in the fall.

Yea there are at least two old washed out overgrown dams upstream that I could see.

Those are some nice pics Boco.
One of these days I'll get up to the line in Kapuskasing and do some beaver and marten trapping... it looks very similar there to the pics you are showing
Just happy to be here.

Any muskrat numbers worth trapping in those waters, BOCO,
or is it all just high dollar beaver you need to get for your yearly quota ?

Muskrats in every creek.
When the kids were small We used to paddle the creeks in spring checking floats.
Had a few funnel traps in strategic spots and a couple cage floats that produced pretty good.
I only set for rats occasionally now when trapping other fur.
There is no shortage of rats in the boreal but they are spread out all over the place on my lines.
Be hard to get more than a couple hundred if you just went after rats.

So things are already breaking up down south there, Boco?
Here in the north, creeks are still frozen, though the ice is starting to go out on my driveway.

Earlier by one month almost exactly from last year.
This is the earliest I have set for open water beaver.
Although sets are limited because of the ice and frozen ground.
First beaver today at a pressure set at a dam.April 7
My previous earliest spring open water beaver was 1999 April 8.
Last year I believe my first open water spring beaver was around May 5th.
