KAWKAWA Lake in Hope has many crawfish. Use a trap with a can of dog food (with holes punched in it). Leave it sit for an hour or so. You will be rewarded.
These are only about 4-inches long, but very tastey

Are they edible? I've seen them in a creek on the north shore and with the strong resemblance to lobster, this old Nova Scotia boy gets to drooling....
Where abouts on the Shore did you see them?

I'm guessing that goes in the "Select" Bin. Or is there an "Ultra Select"? LOL

Nope. A pot of boiling salted water or my favourite, an outdoor fire with a good layer of seaweed tossed on it to steam them. Generally followed by the butter bath. Yum!

There is a store in Burlington, Washington called The Sportsmen Warehouse and they see crayfish traps at a reasonable price! This store is VERY good for your fishing/hunting needs!
Also see you on the mamping trip SNIFF

In the okanagan you can get them right out of hydraulic (mcculloch) lake.   Idabel also holds them, and in better numbers if I remember right.

Hey Novabonker, my uncle captains his own Lobster fishing boat out of Main-à-Dieu...good size crew, nice old boat he christened the "Bump 'n Grind." lots of crazy stuff comes out of some of those traps...he does Tuna and Crab out there as well...hoping to go back and do a couple weeks out on the boat this summer...

Its more sporting if you use a rod ;DTie on a chunk of old fish or meat and toss it out once they grab hold they will not let go.It does not take long to get the 25 your allowed to keep.

I think it's McKay- the one that runs by Cap mall.
