Thanks grampy2! Here it is…

The springs and moving water in my area do not have hard bottoms, looncrap and very soft.

Now we just need to get you some wolf traps.

I must say, I don't think I have ever seen canine sets with traps so obvious anytime, anywhere. However, that sure shows how to make the setup in that particular riffle.

I watched that video years ago and thought the same thing. I don't know if they have since changed it or not, but I remember when they first opened a trapping season for wolves in Idaho, for some odd reason they made it illegal to make water sets for wolves, you could make water sets for any other animal it was legal to trap, but not wolves. They had a lot of odd wolf specific regs when they first opened a season and have since changed a lot of them, but having never been in a situation where I wanted to make a water set for them, I have never checked to see if that has been changed.

If water sets are now legal in Idaho, I would definitely try them, the wolves have probably never encountered them.
