crawfish at the Gorge - donny - 08-07-2006
This is way up in Wyoming, Upper Firehole.
I used fishy canned cat food for for bait, 25 to 50 cents a can.

I counted 17 in one trap, and 18 in the other, on a overnight soak.
I did about the same the next night.

This shows you the size, and is a serving suggestion.

A look at my yatch. Dealing two traps of snapping and hissing dads was a handful.

Here is a different spot, Lowes Bay, near stateline.

Pretty lazy, I tossed one trap from shore into 5 feet of water right
in my campsite. One trap yielded more than two traps had before.
I estimated 50+ big dads.

One on the loose. I actually released all of these, I wasn't staying, and I had my fill for the week.

Figures, I can post a pic, but not a link.
I'll keep trying.
Gonna' have to cut and paste:

Are those traps collapsible? Where did you get 'em? How much?

They do collapse, and that is the only reason I chose that design (Promar TR-503), easier storage.
No way are they as durable as the wire traps, but at $12 each they are pretty cheap.
I got them at one of my favorite shopping sites:
