Beaver floats

Do any of you guys use beaver floats. I'm looking for an easy simple design. What do you use for attraction and any tips or tricks that you would share.

I have any unusual place that I would like to trap some beaver but the banks are very steep and hard to get down. I would like to use floats and think it would be the best option for this scenario.

Any pictures and tips/tricks would be appreciated.

heck with beaver,with all the rain anyone know how to make a canine float??

You might want to look in the Archives. I remember seeing quite a few good designs in there a few years ago.

I did and found one thread on it. It had some information just thought a fresh thread might bring in some different ideas.

Thanks for your help.

I have some pics of beaver floats from the Sept Rendezvous, did you happen to see those?

I didn't I built a smaller two 330 float set today. I will take a picture of it and post it. I did check it floats well with 330'2 attached on each end. I need to put some sides on it or a light tin cover to keep them from coming from the sides.

Thanks Cathouse Jim if you had a picture and if you can try posting it.

One beaver and two scoops of ice cream.

Ok that was pretty funny.

Snowy, this was from Dave Wallace's demo. I don't know anything about the float other then it caught my eye and I snapped a picture of it.

I've just used them in the spring but they work well I place mine in brush or cattails snip out an opening for the float eliminates side crawlers drive a nail up through the front carry precut pieces of popple drilled on the bottom for nail 1/2 in hole drilled through for lure I use a strip of rubber belting cut narrow enough to slip the springs over the turn sideways this allows me to move the springs a little to adjust the trap depth depending how the float floats 1/2 of the trap works bend my triggers in a T so they are submerged
