Saam, I believe you will have a hard time legally importing a trigger from the US, so that leaves you with fabricating your own. Without good materials and skill making one can be very dangerous. I do not profess to know you country's laws but is a speargun legal to have there?

I would rather stay on land than wear that Zebra suit. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> My boat would smell like piss from guys laughing too hard.

Very good insights, thank you.

This was previously posted by Speardiver member Sames on another thread. I hope you don't mind me copying it here so others will read the concerns when diving Beaver Lake.
Don
Quoted.
''I will say, for some reason Beaver Lake claims many lives each year. For us freedivers, the biggest concerns for me are getting snagged by the standing timber that is all over the place under the surface. It acts like petrified wood and the branches are sharp and have zero give- if it gets ahold of your suit it isn't going to let go easily. Add to that the murky water and it can be very hazardous.
I don't know the exact circumstances of course, but where he was found there is a lot of standing timber in that water, anywhere from surface level to 40 feet or so''.
With the recent loss of experienced spero Michael Burton (AKA Outdoor Catholic) pictured below. I am starting this thread on the dangers of freediving and spearfishing lakes and rivers.It has been ages since I started my skindiving journey beneath the green waters of Candlewood Lake in Brookfield Connecticut as a child.
I will need input from the other freshwater divers who know more than my experience can offer.
Back in a bit....
Don
Welcome Sam.
Cheers, Don
RIP. Prayers to your wife,baby and family.
A friend called me yesterday, he was freedive spearfishing in a lake and did not surface.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2HcbS5LiGE
I'll start a separate post on lake safety, I would like you freshwater guys to help with discussion of dangers.
This is just a RIP thread.
Sincerely, Don
Talent and skill meets perfection of deep thought

I have some 8mm film of a big Hoo taking down 2 life guard cans that were filled with 8lb foam in a flash never to be seen again. When a big pissed of fish wants to hit the sand they can do it, other big fish will just cover distance and not go deep before they bleed out. I will go for over kill if I ever seek a fish over 200# again.
Cheers, Don
Beautiful pictures buddy , thanks.

When you see Barry tell him Don Paul from the Neptune's say's hello and wish's he and his clan well.
I have been banned from WeirdBoard since 09 but miss his crews great posts.
Thanks, Don
Cool find Alex, Popgun Pete has one. I repaired one for a guy 30 years ago and only shot it once. They are made to shoot out of water, like a crossbow for fishing. One is supposed to look through the rubber eye piece at the rear to line up your target. I'll wait for Pete give more feedback.
I'll pass on this one as I like to have my head underwater.;)
Cheers, Don
