crawfsh

They are great fun for the kids to catch! We just tie bacon (Or any left over meat) on the end of a fishing line, drop in and wait. Once you have a few on the end, pull the line up gently. The crawdads won't let go until they get close to the surface. once they are close use a coffee can (Or bucket) slip the can behind them underwater. pull them up and they let go and swim backwards in to the can.
  I know there are better ways........this is juist more fun for the kids, and easy.

I have a shrimp allergy and was a little reluctant to try crawfish. My Captain brought some to work he caught in Moses Lake and we had some for lunch. They were very good! I am hooked and no violent vomiting 1 - 2hrs after eating!

They have a vein that runs down the top of the tail that most people scrape out but if you just get ahold of the middle tail segment and turn it over and pull the vein will pull right out helps save cleaning time.

I want to try some of those little suckers! 
 
HuntNFish - that 1st pic looks sweet! Nice little lake there. Where do they usually hang out in lakes, cricks, etc? Like what part of the water, out of the current, under rocks??

crawdads really like deep pools at the end of a fast current where dead fish and such might settle in, if your familiar with mineral lake there is some good crawdadn there it actually use to get comercially crawdaded back in the day.

I have had great success in martha lake (the one that is a part of the seven lakes). I also read an article about crawfish lake in Okanagan county. It said that there are tons, hence the name

Like said, deeper area in a Lake, under rocks/ logs.  Anything to provide shelter.  But they do come up to the sun in the shallows as well.  We caught some with bacon tied to, than tossed out on a fishing line in the shallows.  Watched many of them coming from the deep areas to get some sun and bacon.  Once they get a claw on it they wont let go for anything.  Just pull them in and drop in the bucket.  And the crawdads were yummy....
