0742Sheff   10 #3 Posted June 12, 2011 Not sure what you are getting at animal2477. I think the OP should catch and eat as many as he possibly can. Our own crayfish need all the help they can get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

charliewag   18 #5 Posted June 12, 2011 alderfen at wroot has a lot of crayfish, whether they're signals i don't know. my friend was reeling in a pike earlier this year and he had one hanging off his line. i fished one of my baits hard on the bottom and it got ripped to shreds. i popped it up after that.

Carp-Chaser   10 #6 Posted June 12, 2011 ive got a crayfish trap for sale if ur interested, i bought it but never used it. i want £20 for it as its brand new Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jimmy62alan   10 #7 Posted June 14, 2011 cheers for the offer Carp Chaser but I'm going to make my own traps, I've been in touch with environmental bods and as they say I've got to list areas where crayfish are before they can give me a permit. So I gather they know all the place's but won't tell you. I've found out that if they listed all the place's the crays have been sited and found this will put off people from fishing. Could they be worried of losing all the fishing licence fee's or is that me being sinacle lol. Anyway once I find out all the best place's I'll drop a line to you all. cheers for now ALAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Said it tasted OK, ( mmm crayfish tail). If they're in the bottom dam they may be in others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
