This wasn't me, but I thought it was appropriate for the fourth of July. |
I have read mixed stories on the matter. It seems the different departments of state and federal agencies all have different versions, depending on who is writing the article. We know that some spreading of Crayfish can and will occur when lakes, rivers, and streams connect. However, There are too many lakes here that are not connected to make that be the complete conclusion. I have not heard of the great crayfish migration as of yet, so that is out of the question. With not a whole lot of choices left, it stands to reason that they have been planted, (whether it was mistake or on purpose). We know they have been planted in the local canals for vegetation control. However, the canals do not feed back to the lakes on high. A good portion of the warm water lakes feed into the canal system here in the Phoenix metro, but not from the high mountain lakes. So why are they there? Why up north? So far it does not make sense and the mystery begins!
COMING SOON: We are going in the field! We are going to practice what we preach! We are going to go after these critters and see what kind of impact we can have. Please send us e-mails on the lakes that are infested with Crayfish. crawdaddyspecialist@gmail.com
