Catch and cook: Setting crawfish traps in a new canal

We’re dropping crawfish traps baited with fresh fish scraps to see if the oxygen levels and benthic habitat have recovered enough to support a healthy population of “mudbugs.” Join me as we explore this newly accessible freshwater ecosystem, navigating the narrow banks of the canal to find out if the legendary crawfish harvest we’ve been dreaming of is actually waiting in the mud below.
