Hi everybody.
I have a dilemma what sluice to get. Grizzly Gold Trap or Gold Hog (or any other stream sluice). What I like about Grizzly is that I can get away with not classifying dirt and just shovel into it. At the same time how often cleanouts should be done? Every 5-10-15 buckets? How good it's at catching fine gold? Is it easier or harder to setup compared to regular stream sluices? Is there stream sluice on the market with grizzly bars? Just want to know your opinion and personal preferences. |

You'd probably be more happy with an Angus or Le trap in that little creek. The gold trap sluices can be really finicky in small streams and aren't near as versatile or easy to use imo.
