What happens here

Before placing the traps, tie a long piece of twine (approximately 12 feet long) to each trap using simple granny knots, securing it to a small clip. The long string allows for easy retrieval and securing the trap. The creator walks to a deep pool in the creek and carefully lowers one baited trap, ensuring it is fully submerged. He ties the other end of the string to nearby weeds to prevent the trap from floating away. He repeats this process for a second deep pool in the creek.

Goal: Place two baited traps in deep creek pools
