Hey guys, I've got a question about native american fish traps and I was wondering if you could help me.
inspired by this video (I think this is so awesome) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2899457/native_american_fish_trap/
In about a month I'm going on a camping trip to a friend's property in Missouri on the Meramec river. I'm going to set a couple of these up, but I'm not familiar with river fish (or river fishing in general). Where on the river should I set these up? What kind of formations or other things should I look for? What kind of bait should I use? I'm primarily interested in catching catfish, but I'm not picky :blushing:
I'm familiar with how to clean and cook catfish by skinning & filleting but I'm totally down to try new ways.
here is a link to meramec's website http://www.mostateparks.com/meramec/misc.htm
any knowledge you can pass on is appreciated!
