Bump

Wolfie, I think it would work. Now I gotta try it.

No offense, but I’ve never got the point of this set up. I could do the same with two sticks and a support stand for the conibear and not worry about lugging that heavy thing in somewhere[/quote]
and when the water rises 2 feet you are checking a empty trap.[/quote]

YEP!!! Cricks here are up and down in water level. Places water is deep and easier to set a float and push it of from land no waders needed. I like them I check with flip flops on many times if I can drive to the spot. LOL

Archives have our float thread from 2007

You made me think about Captain Morgan…… thanks Scott………
Hope he is ok and Nutes cardboard shack is still standing. ( joke nute,,,,dont hurt me)

in 2008 I added a second layer of foam and 1 more layer of wood.

Actually I used to think the same thing until ya try putting 2 sticks into frozen ground in early spring-not gonna happen here. So the float is held in place by a 6 foot rebar rod that I pound through the frozen ground with a sledge hammer and it produces all spring long.I used 2 floats 3 springs ago-I now use over 20 and my my beaver numbers catch rate wise has gone up because I can set areas where I cannot normally. They are great in flat flooded out areas where its difficult to find a bank so to say. Just another very very functional tool in poor conditions for a regular 2 stick set. Numbers don't lie-just saying. Different areas provide different challenges-especially when the ground is frozen.

I actually set a fully flooded out area yesterday that there was zero place to do the 2 stick set-floats re set-we'll hopefully have beavers tomorrow

Great for Early Spring when ice Omly opens up in front of a DEEP Beaver lodge
Amy deep Water travel routes etc...

Also ADC work

I set every water flow with them on my spring beaver runs and they produced very very well

Boy, I sure coulda used a couple yesterday. When you head out on a long drive to hit a few spots, bring ALL your gear…..including spare parts. Got a nail to work just fine though…lol
