Do you have a problem with debris clogging or firing the trap when set in the stream that way?
I once caught a small Northern Pike in a 110 set at a 'rat den entrance in the run.

In VA and PA where my dad does most of his trapping, anything 220 and up must be completely submerged. The power of those traps is amazing! I wouldn't want to get my arm in their... OUCH!

When I was in my teens I had a relatively new Conibear 110 snap on my ungloved fingers. Not a pleasant experience, all the more so because they were COLD! That was the first and (so far) LAST time that's happened. It seems the more painful the experience, the quicker I learn.

Connibears are an amazing trap that get respect. My wife is not strong enough to set them so I have a new crop of beaver to harvest after returning from a summer overseas\.

There are strong opinions both for and against solid staking. Myself, I prefer a double staked leghold with two inline springs and swivels. There is little to no chance of pull-outs. Chew-offs are just part of playing the game, but one can certainly limit them by making their rounds as quickly and efficiently as possible to limit time spent in the trap.
