Free Fish! Stocking a Farm Pond The Hillbilly Way!

What happens here

The creator drives to the main pond, which is much larger and clearer. He explains it has a muskrat problem, causing damage to the pond's dam. He places one baited trap in a shallow, accessible area near the bank, securing it with a stick pushed into the mud. He mentions that while muskrats are a nuisance for dams, otters (which are also present in the area) can decimate fish populations. He advises checking local regulations for trapping permits.

Goal: Place one baited trap in the main pond
