Get your hands on a small animal trap, use it to create the same thing but sized better for a ray...ie. shorter and wider. They use a trigger either pressure or tension to close the trap. I would think it be easier to catch a ray rather than have fish stealing the bait with a trap like this.

Have the trigger (a paddle) and bait on a string mounted in a tube which would be triggered by blowing or sucking.

good thought process, however dont forget this is going to be put in a river.... constant movement...
Don;t forget the trap MUST keep the P's out and allow the (perhaps multiple) rays in and keep them there.
Water flow in the study areas will probably not be too much

Tube open on one end with small holes around the tube on the other side with a closed end facing downriver if current is to stong.turkeyboy85;3205080; said:
For multiple rays ?????? No clue but I'm thinking the size would be quite a bit larger.
Interesting topic. Problem in my opinion is the size of rays. If rays can get in, other larger predators could also
