What lakes are you talking about? Do those lakes have rocky bottoms?

I see people doing it in the Spokane River, which is absolutely carpeted with them. They get huge too. Also i've seen a ton of them in Long lake, which makes sense because it's just an impoundment of the Spokane River. As for the rocky bottoms i would say absolutely that is where you will find crawdads, anywhere there are rocks big enough for them to hide under in the Spokane you will find them.bigastrout wrote:Nik wrote:i see people over here using cans of dog food as bait. they just punch a bunch of holes on the can and set it in the pot. crawdads absolutely love it.

The rule is on page 137 of the regs. Do you have the same trap?gpc wrote:bigastrout wrote:I am struggling with the biodegradable devise rule. I don't think this crawfish trap meets the requirement as it is seen here in stock condition?
Yea I was wondering the same thing. Mine snaps together in the middle of the pot, thers no bands for anything. Not only that but it dosnt look like there is a way to modifie it to make it have biodegrable straps. But I didnt see anything about this in the rules and regs pamplet. Did you? Because if its not in the book what could they say? I doubt they can fine you for an unwritten rule
I think that the third example is the one that applys to usgpc wrote:I do have the same pot and I was checking it out last night and the little metal clip could be replaced with a biodegradale piece of rope. I think. What do you think?
