Build Fish Trap from Stone, Catch Big Fish: Primitive Food Village: The best part of this video is the first half where they demonstrate building a fish weir and show it working. After that, the "acting" is a bit exaggerated, they demonstrate why a fish spear would be good : ). They do demonstrate another method of cooking fish though, if you're interested.
The Best Survival Fish Trap; Sigma 3 Survival School: Excellent video demonstration the construction of a fish basket trap as well as its placement and use.
Spring Pole Fish Trap; Corporal Corner: This trap is a little more complicated than some I've seen, but it's always good to have options in your toolbox. The video is well-done.
