Does anyone know of a good spot to catch crayfish in the Seattle area?

Question

Hi, does anyone know of any good spots to catch crayfish in the Seattle area? I used to catch them in a creek near where I grew up, but that was many years ago, and the creek is no longer accessible.

Answer 1

As stated any fresh water that is reletively clean and has fish in it - even minnows qualify as fish... look around the rocks as this is normally where you will find them.

Best time is to come at night with a lantern to see if you can see them walking around (eyes glow a bit) then come back during the day and catch them under the rocks or get a minnow trap and put a dead fish in it - be sure to cut up the fish so they can smell it and they can pick at it.

Answer 2

any body of fresh water...look where there are shallow rocky areas where the current isn't so fast (so you can see & catch them). Any pond or lake with a rocky shoreline...should suffice. I found some out near Oak Harbor a long time ago so I know they're around.
