Hello, You need to get yourself some trapping dvds or booklets, and or find someone in your area who can show you the ropes. Dobbins has some good beav instruction booklets/DVDs if interested.

here is some locations for beaver and otter using snare and conibears
![[image] [image]](http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/WILLIAMBEVELS/water%20locations%203/009.jpg)
set this up with snare or a 220-330 in both channels were the bush forces them to split
![[image] [image]](http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/WILLIAMBEVELS/water%20locations%203/trappinglocations2006.jpg) here you can set up any were as the ditch is small but i would have at least one snare or conibear were the tree limb is barely touching the bank

i would place a leg trap at the dam and break the corner open and then set conibears along the narrow feeder stream.these type of locations never stop producing.why the main stream is a river that runs for 100's of miles
![[image] [image]](http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/WILLIAMBEVELS/water%20locations%203/trappinglocations2004.jpg) the last picture i would place conibears or snares down the little channel and break the corner of the dam

Some of them you do not need lure.
