Lots of guys claim the 120's will kill them just fine, but I prefer something a little more stout.
I do seem to see more fisher tracks in the replanted pine areas that are 8-10 years old, and when the snow gets deep they seem to really use the ski-doo trails heavy.

A belisle 120 is more than enough trap for a fisher I caught 18 in them last year I personally have never seen where a trap was fired and i missed a fisher, you will miss a lot of martens with a 160
