Garden State Trout

Came across this beaver dam on a Hunterdon Cty stream. It took awhile but I did manage to breach it. Lowered the water behind it by almost 2 feet. Caught 3 wild browns ain a pool that was under water an hour before.

Now you made some poor beavers homeless . Hope your .................

Hey don’t worry the beavers will have it fixed in a week. On my brothers farm in NY he has been fighting a beaver for a year or more. So far beaver is ahead four to one. He took the dam apart four times and they had it fix in under a week..The last time he took it apart it took them three weeks to fix it. So what did he do . He made a 25 acre lake where the dam was and the beavers moved to some where else. So now he has 2 ponds on his farm. One 17 and the other 25 acres. I keep on telling him that he will have nothing but water on his farm. He said I still have 300 plus acres so the two ponds won’t hurt the rest of his property. I go up there to shoot woodchucks about twice a year and fish his two ponds. The last time I talked to him he says a beaver is now in his 17 acre pond. Bill the mailman

Nexr time I will bring a rake. If they dam some swamp up and create a nice bass pond, I'm cool with it. But hot damming up streams.

Thank you for your civil duty

Its nature's calling. The beavers are just doing what they were bred for
