How To
How to build a fish trap for survival
A fish trap is an apparatus that is designed to catch fish. It is composed 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 level to rise. As the water level rises higher, it will fall through the second bar allowing the trapped fish escape.
Fish traps were first used to catch salmon in ancient times. These traps still function today. However, they can also be used to catch freshwater catfish like bass and carp.
If you have enough water, you can create your own fish trap. For the trap's inner walls, you'll need some type or material. You can also buy an online commercial fish trap kit if you don't have much space. These kits usually include everything you need except the materials to construct your trap.
If you do decide to make your own fish trap, here are some things to keep in mind when building it:
-
Ensure the sides of the trap are strong, so the water doesn't leak through them.
-
So that the sun warms the water, choose a spot with plenty of sunshine.
-
For the trap's bottom, use a smooth surface such as concrete or stone. Sand and gravel particles tend to gravitate to rough surfaces.
-
Keep the area around the trap free of debris so that there won't be any obstacles for the fish to get caught in.
Once you have built the fish trap, place it near the edge. If the fish escape, don't panic. The trap should be left alone for a few more days to allow them to return in. The trap should remain wet so there is no need to clean it. If you notice dead fish around the pond you can easily remove them.
