I recently discovered that Michigan is abound with an invasive species of crayfish called the "rusty crayfish". They've been here for years and are multiplying.
I guess they are easy to trap but more importantly, they're great eating...............The word needs to be spread far and wide!Two big claws look real meaty.
Manitoba trying to control them--but seems to be protecting them in their regs.
The Rusty Crayfish (Orconectes rusticus)
Current Regulations
• Effective May 1, 2007, it is illegal to possess crayfish (this includes possession for consumption).
• Manitoba no longer issues experimental commercial fishing licenses for the harvest of crayfish.
• Manitoba has listed rusty crayfish on the amended Prohibited Species list of the Manitoba Fisheries Regulations under The Fisheries Act.
Can't cook & eat it, can't use it for bait, and can't fish for it commercially.
And Manitoba wants to reduce the Rusty Crawfish population?

Doesn't make any sense does it?
I could ask any fisherman I know here in Michigan about crayfish trapping and eating and no one would know what I was talking about. It seems to be a closet hobby among those who are aware of it............

that’s the big question.
If they’re good eatin’ they can be farmed as a food source in areas that might otherwise have periods of shortages.

No problem. Just tell the Cajuns that they taste good. Problem solved.
