up to you, some places you just cant drown them. With a big good strong foothold I am not afraid to just stake them in solid and keep them alive.

I use mostly bridger 3's or duke 4's, 4 coiled for beaver and have caught and held large ones by both front or back feet with no drowning setup. I set them on dam crossovers and castor mound sets.

So Chevy, I don't have deep enough water. The creek is barely 2 feet deep in most places (probably deeper right now but will go back down). Should I stay with snares? I've got one 330 I was going to try and set on a slide. Don't really see a dam on my stretch of creek just a few trees down.
