Crawdads ..As kids we would turn the rocks in the river to catch crawdads .If one was to plan ahead and put your had behind the rock a few inches [crawdads shoot backwards when disturbed] you could catch all you could carry in a short time [It was grand fun in the summer too ] ...There were wire baskets that were traps that were used by those that would use them for food or fish bait ...I remember my folks cooked up a mess once [a feat never to be repeated]they were like fondue way to much bother .. I once caught one that must of been eight inches long . Huge for a crawdad  [big as a rat ] He was kept in a fish tank at school all winter and later in my room for a few months . He was feed worms and I would take him out and [poke at him ] from time to time .. He was released back into the creek after maybe a year ..I would like to see some pictures of your crayfish ....
