[#008000]Yes, you can use Crawdads for bait and it is legal - as long as they are dead (like all bait) and only used in the water where they are captured.[/#008000]

Chuck, the crawdads don't have to be dead. From the 2009 Utah Fishing Guidebook:
[#bf0000]"Use of live crayfish for bait is legal only on the water where the crayfish is captured. It is unlawful to transport live crayfish away from the water where they were captured." (emphasis added)[/#bf0000]
It also appears to me, that it is legal for one to use dead crayfish that were caught on another body of water.
