Any luck in the crayfish traps?

The little Bugs were crawling! I set 4 traps with chicken and a can of cat food for two nights and this morning I collected about 60 mixed sizes.
We kept about 40 nice sized ones for a boil tonight and released all the little guys.
They were DELICIOUS

I was very surprised to see so many in the traps with the water temp between 46 and 48

Another surprise was the number of berried females.
Fishing was slow today at Silver lake. Sooooo we’re headed to Convict tomorrow for the last day of the trip. We’re hoping for a repeat of some Big hookups?!

Kielbasa, does it take to get full with the sides 😋

Never had crawdads but I always see tons of them and traps at Silver. What do they taste like?

Can you snap a picture of June?

Convict paid off again today.
4 1/2Lbs, and about 15 C&R Rainbows and Browns at the inlet at Convict Lake on the 1/32 Black Gold Hookup baits with the Crawdad hot sauce!
The creek was flowing into the lake and forming an eddy that kept the PA in the perfect spot, every cast was a hit or a fish.
soooo much fun just casting into the riffles and flow!
