Yeah but deer lake is contaminated so according to ED the crayfish just might you sick if you eat them  ::)

Please don't pick on other members simply because you do not agree with their opinion, if you enjoy your stay on this forum.

ED, next time hit the "report to moderators" link and we'd take care of it right away. Thanks.

Thanks for your informative, accurate, and interesting input Every Day.  Your posts are consistently well-written, rational, and contribute significantly to my understanding of many different fishing-related topics in the lower Mainland.  You are a very strong member of this and other fishing forums, and I look forward to reading your posts in the future.

Well-- I really dont like to rain on anyones parade but I have to call BS on Ever Days monster 16" crayfish he posted on page one.    Have a look at this website  http://www.issg.org/database/species/ecology.asp?si=725&fr=1&sts=sss    Please notice the SIZE of the larger males... 16 cm or 6.2 inches. Give or take a couple of extra inches for those growing on the Valley sewage, its still a LONG way from what science records.

And yes-- I have collected my few allowed by MOE for many years. The biggest I have ever seen was no more than 7".    Maybe a case of "fishermans measurement"  ??  ::)

Are you kidding me  ???
This summer when I dive on the Vedder I will post some pics of crayfish by a measuring tape that are well over 8 inches.
Another reason not to use traps  ;D

I also don't keep anything less than 6 inches because they are a waiste of time  ;)

Perhaps that was a tip of the tail to a tip of the claws measurement.  The official record is probably just the length of the carapace.  Keep in mind also that there are hundreds of species of crayfish in the world, so we might not all be talking about the same thing.  For example, this thread is called "crawfish."  The species referred to as "crawfish" or "crawdads" in the Southern and Eastern states are not even the same animal that we find around here.

So i did it... I set two traps into como lake for the last two nights. Checked it today but nothing! Bait was the rest of some trouts like head, fins and guts (uncooked of course) Is it still to early in the season? Temperature should be alright with about 15*C as they start to feed as soon as it gets over 10*C. It must hold crayfish 'cause I caught one last year in Juli while fishing for trout. And normaly where you find one there are many more... ???
