This is crazy ..When I heard of people out here eating crawdads I laughed ... Back east I would catch them by the hundreds and no one I knew ever ate any of them ... Most creeks back east hold crawdads . We would walk up the creeks turning over rocks and find them ...Once we got bored with that then we would catch snapping turtles by sticking your hands up in the creek banks until you felt their tails and pull them out... Snap snap snap ....yep those were the days  Back to the subject  those look damn good

Who can answer this question. While driving through town (Raymond) I saw a pickup with about fifty crawdad traps in the back of the truck. Can you get a permit to put that many traps out in the creeks. Saw this truck up mill crk later that afternoon, must have been putting the traps out.

Here's some from last summer.  Oh BTW... Zatarain's crab boil works awesome with mud bugs!

This was a small catch, some low life picked a couple of our traps before we got there.

Those are some awesome bugs!  Haven't eaten those in years.

 Don't know about WA but my brother's ex and her sister had a comercial permit to fish Young's Bay in OR. They were sold and shipped to NYC I believe. They would run 50 or so pots.

Don't know the answer, but some one else posted this link. Check it out he is, was a commercial crawdad fisherman. Looks like the type of person you could email and ask the question. He is from Bellingham.

Great site for crawdad information also.

Can you describe the truck? I was down there fishing for them but we only had six traps  heard one guy was doing it commercially in Grays harbor from raymond. But also know of another guy who had a mess of crawdads on the 4th. lol...didnt know it was getting so popular down there.
