Here's how I do it.... First make a little fake slide down into the water maybe 24-48" long. Then I dig a bed for my trap, I like it so the trap when bedded is 12-15" out from shore and offset to the right 3-4" to the center of the pan. I also try to build a ridge of mud on the outside of the trap from the castor mound to get the beavers to stop swimming and start walking when they breast it. I use the mud from the trap bed to make the mound and add a good beaver castor based lure to the top of the mound. I use about 1/2 a teaspoon of lure. A small green peeled stick and its shavings on the mound add to its eye appeal incase the wind is not in your favor. The traps I prefer are MB750's set on a drowning rod or 5-10' of chain and a big cable stake in a non-drowning location, my top lures are Sweetwater Flattail, Dobbins' Backbreaker and Wilson's Green Beaver Lure. completed castor mound set... result... 60# beaver, them MB750's don't let go easy. lol... ~ADC~
