How To
How to build a fish trap for survival
A fishtrap is a device to catch fish. It is composed of two parallel bars (the "trays") which form a funnel shape. The water flows into one trap, and then settles on the bottom of first tray. This causes the water to rise. As the water rises higher, it falls through the second bar, allowing the trapped fish to swim out.
Fish traps have been around since ancient times and were originally used to catch salmon. They still work today, but now they're also used to catch many types of freshwater catfish, such as bass and carp.
If you have enough water, you can create your own fish trap. You'll want to use some kind of material to line the inside of the trap. If you don’t have enough space, you can order a commercial fishtrap kit online. These kits come with everything except for the materials required to construct the trap.
Here are some tips to help you build your fish trap.
-
You must ensure that the sides of the trap do not give way to water.
-
Make sure you choose a location that is well-lit so the sun can warm the water.
-
Smooth surfaces like stone or concrete are best for trap bottoms. Sand and gravel particles will gravitate to uneven surfaces.
-
To ensure that the fish don't get caught, keep the trap area clear of any debris.
Once you have built the fish trap, place it near the edge. Don't worry if the fish escape; leave the trap alone for a few days until they start swimming back in. The trap shouldn't be cleaned as it should stay moist. You can always remove dead fish from the pond later if you find them.
