Crawdad question

[wyfisher]

I live in Evanston wyoming and sulfer creek resivour has lots of crawdads. Just dont leave your traps over night or there is a good chance they will be stollen. I lost 3 last year that way.I generaly make my own traps and was catching a 5 gallon bucket full with 3 traps out over night. I have also heard they go toxic when they die on their own. and to kill them quickly to avoid that kind of problem and keep them cool not directly on the ice but seperated with a wet piece of burlap if you kill them in the feid. In wyoming we dont have to worry about that but Utah does. I bait my traps with 1 fried chicken bone and 1 piece of raw chicken. I have tried them seperatly and get on average 1/3 less crawdads per set. Good luck!
