Go to the Vedder on a hot and sunny day..... looks for a nice shady covered place along the tree banks or under the crossings in the lower river. They seem to like these types of areas.

I remeber when I was a kid a friend and I used to catch them in the Allouette. We would take them to his house and his mom would cook them up for us. They where pretty good.

I ate buckets full of them, when I was a kid back in the late 60's and early 70's. Just boil and eat.

I have heard that they are a nocturnal  scavenger , do you have to leave over night or can you catch enough if you leave out for a few hours during the day
