When you make your castor mounds on the bank what do you do to encourage the beaver to come to the castor mound through your 330?  I am going to be setting up small ponds in a few days.  The shore lines of the ponds are unremarkable.  I would appreciate any advice you could give me.   By law my 330's will have to be totally submerged.   BTW I got the lure in the mail today-Thanks!

 When making my castor mounds,I pick the spots that look good to me--cuts in the bank or shoreline--penninsulas--anything that is different.
 If the shoreline is all the same ,i try to set near chew sticks,pull outs or wherever they may be cutting.
 I leave my springs of my 330s--straight out to the sides.I then block off the sides from the 330 back to my mounds.You can put sticks in an X over the top jaws of the trap.When the trap is totally submerged you can also put a dive stick over the trap ,in addition to the X sticks.Your mound and lure will do the rest.
 Keep me posted on your results and please ask, if you have more questions.
 Good luck and thanks,

One more question...trigger on top or bottom?   How do you configure the trigger wire?  Thanks!

Just remember  you can bring the bvr to you where ever you set IF you cant find a  place that is supposedly ideal to set.   I have taken a completely flat shore line on pond or river and  put branches , rocks, grass    so   dont be afraid to  BUILD yourself a  set for bvr to come too  BECAUSE he smells the castor and wants to investigate it... Good Luck..
