750s in a tray at small breach. Water is very clear. Tray is about 6 inches deep.

Caught a small beaver here this morning. That's 5 in 2 nights. Might be all of this colony. This clear pool is at the head of this quagmire of swampy wetlands. There are at least 2 more dams out in this spring-fed swamp....each likely has it's own colony.

Water is down about 18" from start. Trays are not in optimum position, but shelf drop-off is too steep now to position them further. Step out where the trays are and you will sink thigh deep in mud. I could dig out mud to channel better, but no need as it's about done here. I re-adjusted them this morning, but shelf angle is not as good as initial setup. It'll still catch beaver, but not as efficiently.
