lmao adc ...yep its a southern term ..its the wire that goes in concrete drive ways .it has 3 x4 inche squares in it..even chicken wire will work .like i said i only use this set for adc ..because if its left there to long the beaver will put a dam there....after three days all the beaver is moved and i take it down..

On smaller ditches and creeks without as much deep water u may have to only use one trap in the center. Pay attention to the weather forecast and lay your setup on the bank if u will be expecting heavy rains, saves a lot of trouble in the long run ;D

a lot of our small streams don't have anything but a trickle of water at the banks, therefore we have to set where the deeper water is(our 330's and 280's have to be submerged). but along our way of thinkingu can put 2 in the middle.

earl thats true...you have to build it the way the banks and the water flow helps you put them were you need them...

I know I'm a wee bit late and short on cash but here is how we do it up my way. No need for any fancy gear or anything to lug in other than your 330 and a hatchet or trappers axe, and that isn't necessary in most circumstances as you just need the 330. And here is the result.
