Don't know the Idaho laws, but have heard they are pretty strict in Utah about transporting live Crawdads.
So unless you're cooking at the lake, you're gonna have all dead ones left! (could be they release toxins when they die. Same kinda story for other shell fish - clams and such. Tap them and make sure they suck closed, strong hold).
Do you just eat the tail, or do you suck the head (Radiator's song...). Cook em whole, or just break of the tail for the boil?
I've heard tell - a chicken leg on a string can work well, better than traps even. But since I tossed half my minnow trap into the river - haven't had a chance to try. (shoulda double checked the clasp!)
