How to Dig Up Crayfish, Crawdads, Crawfish, and Mud Bugs (Crawfish Noodling)

This’ll show you how to dig up a Crayfish out of his Burrow. It is a muddy job, and you never quite know how deep it will go or what you’ll pull out.

Disclaimer: Sticking your hand into am unknown hole is a risky endeavor… in multiple circumstances this can lead to injury and perhaps death. Dig safely.

Digging Crawfish can be done for fun, bait, and also in survival situations. Crawfish are an meal for a great number of creatures, humans included. If you are planning to consume them make sure to clean thoroughly… and that the Crawfish is alive and healthy. Consuming long dead organisms of any kind comes with a variety of risks that rarely outweigh the benefits of a meager meal.

Good luck.
