yah they're great. You can get them out of the stave, harrison, pitt, or even the fraser. When you catch them put them in clean water for a day to clean out their system.

Sasamat Lake also has Crayfish. Can one use a trap for them, like you would for lobster or prawns?

with a trap youre gonna limit out really quickly. You can have a little more fun if you use a small fish head or piece of chicken tied to the end of some mono....you dont have to wait so long to check it and its a little more challenging than trapping them en masse.  You'll still do well, too, just a fun way to do it that doesnt involve sitting and waiting so much.
