snoopdog 1,255 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 i dont use traps when we go river fishing for brownies :whistle: we build a rock pool just out of the fast water around a foot deep we chuck a couple of road kill bunnies in it and then we go fishing .......when we have finnised fishing we check the pools ...forgot to add in the bottom of the pool place an old landing net put the bunnies on top so you just lift the net out and pick your crays out if we build a couple of pools we average around 60 crays somtimes a few more somtimes less .....then half of them might be small but always catch enough to feed a few folk on the barby if we set proper traps we would get alot more but we get enough for what we need... i will take some pics next time i go ... :thumbs-up: Quote Link to post

john b 38 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 There was a thread discussing this before and it's worth repeating that the Environment Agency provide a neat little pack on crayfish trapping and identification for free http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...ndpost&p=169095 That thread also talks about various commercial traps and the legal restrictions of trapping crayfish - even the pest Signal ones. This is a copy of the laminated card that comes with it. I hope I am not infringing any rules by posting it here for the common good. Quote Link to post
