Enjoying All The Trapping Articles In GON Dear GON, I love the ongoing series on trapping, whether it is coyotes, foxes, hogs, etc. There is an urgent need for trappers.

Clarks Hill: Level: 1 foot below 330. Temp: 50 degrees. Clarity: Stained from the rains. Bass: Look for bass holding in the ditches and channels 15 to 20 feet deep or deeper. However, as the prespawn period begins look for them to move toward the backs and feed up on flats later in the month.…
