Got traps set Saturday morning, then it started to rain, snow melted, and we were under a flood warning. Then we got 4 more inches of snow on Monday. Got everything fished out on Monday, reset in a stream that was flowing normal. Lakes and swamps are froze up tight…it was minus one here this morning.

The river came up over a foot last night and for the life of me I can't figure out why I couldn't break through both layers of ice, so I left them as they are I put in 2 large pocket sets near by with fresh chubs and mink glands Maybe tomorrow

Seen it on the West Branch when trapping beaver….get a bunch of rain, nothing rises. Then two days later it’s flooding . Takes a while for the watershed to drain. We had melting snow, and an inch of rain on Saturday. Streams were blown out by the next morning.
