    I'd think that C&R crayfishing would be permitted, but if you were keeping them, then yes, it's considered taking bait.

    Even so, I'm not sure that taking crayfish on an ATW would be illegal...you don't even have a rod & reel (I hope...)

    Maybe next time get a mouth full of saliva and talk to them. Begin letting the drool fall tell them your looking for gold.

    So many hunting and fishing laws in PA are in place to make law enforcement easier. I think it stinks you can't catch crayfish because trout season is closed. I think it stinks you have to buy a trout stamp to catch carp at Indian Lake. I'd like to see trout open all year like most places, then you could terrorize crayfish legally. I could go on...no hunting groundhogs in turkey season, using turkey shot for coyotes in turkey season...

    It is isn't it ? The early season that runs through March is only three trout, then it closes to 1st day which then goes to 5.
