Crayfish Trapping

[Laddey]

Anybody have any experience with this?

Where does one start? Getting the license i know, but you have to provide to the river authorities where you're gonna be trapping them.

Where do they live? ;D

Most rivers in the UK are packed with them. Best bet is search engines with 'crayfish and preston or north west'

what you do is set up a small mound of crayfish food and a sign poking out the top saying "FREE crayfish food!!" then you rig up a baby grand piano (they're only small, a grand piano would be overkill) over the food and wait for them to take the bait Muwahahaha!!!

Seriously though, you may have to look into this because the American crayfish has been severely damaging the native crayfish numbers so it may actually be that the native one is now protected and you can catch the american ones...though I did read something a while back about the dickheads at the top thinking it was a good idea to introduce a parasite that attacks 'only' the american crayfish (...because every single time we've tried that in the past it's worked soo well...) so get in tough with your local wildlife trust for some proper details about what it is legal, and safe, to catch.

Happy hunting
