i live in Massachusetts and although they're still seen from time to time, the rivers I used to catch them in 20 years ago are completely devoid of them now. poor little buggas.

>KY Just remember to keep electing representatives that don't believe in the harms of pollution or the regulation of polluting industries and think gutting environmental regulatory agencies are a good idea. Things will surely work out.

>>361321 You're not looking hard enough. I can catch tons of them even in fucking Fitchburg.
For non-massholes here is a picture of what the major river used to look like in Fitchburg during the 1960's. It's since been cleaned up to the point that indicator insect species have returned to the watershed.

>>361312 I was out fishing with my brother and we had a crayfish try to steal an entire herring from the river bank.
Heard him loudly say "what the fuck" and stick his hand in the water.. Ran over to see what happened and he was playing tug of war with a fucking crayfish.. This is why I go outdoor

Camp Director here.
at r-c. unless things have changed in the last month, the crawdads were a harmful invasive species, killing off the fish in the area.
They also reproduce like crazy.

>>361482 As someone who works at Camp Geronimo (if you've been there I'd love to swap stories, it's very close to R-C) I'd like to point out that Crawdads are actually an invasive species to the Mogollon Rim area; they are incredibly destructive to the riparian ecosystem and it is infact illegal to release them back into the water if they are taken out. So catch as many as you want cause they're a fuckin pest.
