@@innosam123 Oh really? Do you know about where you started kayaking, is it near the entrance of trinity western university or somewhere else because I would really like to go check it out for myself.
BC has so many food secrets:) They like some creeks and lakes in the maple ridge area. A good test is to put some bait on a string (we did this with a cooked piece of crayfish!) and toss it into the creek, holding onto one end of course. If there are crayfish there, you'll see them creep up to eat it. It only took about 15 minutes for ours to appear.
Hi Silas, could you send me some info on where it says that on the Department of Fisheries site? I can't find any info saying that crayfish aren't allowed to be fished.
@@swallowtailculinary The rivers and creeks are not under DFO regulations for crayfish that is why you will not find anything on them , look in the British Columbia fishing non tidal water regulations you can google then , The provincial government regulates fresh water fishing not the Federal they do tidal waters, And you better make sure you have the right license when fishing in rivers lakes and creeks not a DFO license
@@squamishfish I've included in the notes and vid where people should get their freshwater fishing license, hope that's helpful. The info that I've found in the BC fishing regs (DFO was a typo) still say that you can catch up to 25 crayfish legally with that license, please send if you have any other info to the contrary. This is one of the problems that I've had with the online info in BC on fishing, it's crazy hard to navigate.
Do you know if there are any crawfish in Prince George?
Not sure
Hi I am from vancouver and super interested in these crawfish, do you mind share any location info?
Look for shallow creeks near Maple ridge
@@swallowtailculinary Mind sharing any specific locations that you definitely know have crawfish?
@@harryyu665Salmon River in Langley has some. Remember seeing a lot when Kayaking.

I am from Vancouver do you mind telling me where I can try my hands at this
hi Brendon Shoot me an email for more info... info@swallowtail.ca
I am also from Vancouver and have been wondering if we had craw fish in BC or not
We indeed do!
I have lived in B.C. all my life and have never seen one in the wild, maybe just looking in the wrong place.

They hide very well. Throw some fish guts in the water and watch them appear.
Your not allowed to catch these in rivers or creeks

In creeks
Do you have a link to where it states that? Like I said, I've checked the DFO site and there's no info stating you can't fish in creeks for them
