1st buy a nice rifle,try the new 17 caliber rimfire excellent distane shots, 2nd make sure the damn you built will stay when the beaver one goes (and it will) 3rd give up on the trout mother nature had something going you will never duplicate unless you are willing to start over make it deeper or not so big so you get the flow of water back to keep it cool and get ready for the headaches. 3rd large mouth are a lot better anyway contact your local fishery for stocking info and have at it. You could also do smallmouth who put up a better fight either or are great but not both according to my hatchery you can do one but not both. As for making money set up a charge for fishing we have one around here called Cat fishermans paridise they charge to fish and its always packed all the time rain shine or snow. but serously, I like beavers as much as the next guy but you have to get rid of them or they will forever be a pain. Maybe buy live traps and reenter them someone else far away if you dont want to destroy them your choice. Good luck
