Fishing

Easy crayfish catching

Some local streams I visit have slow moving, shallow sections with an abundance of crayfish. To catch them I use a 16 oz. plastic cup. when I see a crayfish I want, I put the cup on the streambed about 5 inches from the tail and spook it by moving my other hand towards it's head. Since it retreats in a rapid backwards swim, it goes straight into the cup, where it is quickly scooped up from the stream and poured into a bucket. I have managed to catch more than a dozen in fifteen minutes with this method.
