I doubt it's too early to catch crawfish. While ice fishing we used to lay on the ice and watch crawfish crawling on the bottom of Scofield and Strawberry. I have even heard one report of people having good luck with crawfish at Scofield already since ice off.
Last year I made a home made crawfish trap that was big enough to fit through an ice hole. I actually caught a couple of crawfish with that jimmy rigged trap. I also would think that early season crawfish would taste better than late season crawfish. Let us know how you do. If you want to catch a lot of crawfish take a trip to Scofield or Strawberry. These are the only two places I have targeted crawfish and they are in there a plenty. I don't know how many crawfish Willard has so I can't help you much there. Good luck and let us know how you do.
