That's a neat idea Barrynl. I may be able to do something like that way down the rail road tracks, away from where any kids play. Do you set multiple traps in the openings? I would assume so. Could even screen the first one to keep debris out of your sets and set the next few.... hmmm

I am going to get some 280's for the otters here in alaska. The 330's are for the wolverines. Do you have any hide damage with the snares scott?

What locks do you usually run? I am guessing non-relaxing so it puts them down fast.

Sorry about taking so long to reply.
A lot of culverts around here have this feature, they are usually tributaries of off salmon river's. The department of Highways put them in to break up the current in the culverts to make it easier for the salmon to run up the tributaries.
By some act of the god's these are exactly the size of a 220, I mean exactly LOL.
Yes it is a 220 bellise Super X.

Those fish ladders are great spots to make mink sets also. Here the ladders are normally put in at an angle and sand builds up on the down stream side, making a nice mink spot.

Aww, that's cheating Barry! Ha Ha!
Nice catches Scott and Hank! Do you guys keep the hide wet till she's on the stretcher and drying to help with singe? I've only one under my belt and of course Nafa said it was singed..... Kept it wet too.

Bigtwin some time otter get singed in the wild. It is a good Idea to keep them wet when fleshing I use a small water bottle with a spray nozzle.
If a Otter is singed then the fur will have a waxy look (best I can describe it).
If you kept it wet while fleshing it probably was not your fault. Just bad luck.

Whats your methodology for snaring otters Scott?
That first snared otter pic of Scott's is why you need inline swivels on snares.

I've only one under my belt and of course Nafa said it was singed..... Kept it wet too. I haven't ever had an otter singe, so no help from me. I don't even bother keeping them wet.
