FalconFN Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Not really a sporting picture but I thought it was worth posting. The water level in the stream I catch crayfish in was pretty low and it exposed some of the crayfish burrows. These burrows extend all the way along the bank but there are patches where there are loads which causes the bank to erode and to widen the stream over time. It's only a narrow stream of about 4 feet wide, but it is full of crays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I love crayfish, do they like any particular kind of waters/areas? England they aren't in wales or welsh rivers and we dont want them in fact wales is pushing the native crayfish as most of southern england's population has been wiped out by the american invaders http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-27335062 NOt for catching/eatiing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 A good and informative picture. I am afraid that the little ******** are here for good. Eroding stream banks is only one of the likely environmental problems they cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 A good and informative picture. I am afraid that the little ******** are here for good. Eroding stream banks is only one of the likely environmental problems they cause. My concern is the canal system, that has been in existence for two hundred years plus , with all the raised sections they could cause havoc . I have some areas of the Grand Union that have the rabbits burrowing on the raised banks from the outside and the crays from the inside. That's on a ten mile stretch of water between locks, potential disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
