No, not a rotary phone. The old kind powered by a hand crank. It's illegal to use on fish unless you are a game warden but it stuns fish and makes them surface. I think there are other electronic devices that do the same thing. Aren't snapping turtles now endangered? It's worth a try because you don't want it to bite anyone.
My uncle told me about going down to the lake to 'make a call'. Found the hand crank generator thing in his shed after he passed. I didn't know what it was, but my dad did.
