Been catching crawdads and putting into this pond.

At the overflow pipe there is a small wash that the new half inch long crawdads seem to migrate up to from a low lying area with puddles. I can get about 40-50 a day with a small dip net in this puddle. Come back the next day or two and a bunch more will be in there.

Probably have put 150 or so of these tiny crawdads into this SMB/RES pond. Hopefully they will grow up, eat the bushy pondweed and FA, and feed the SMB. I place them in different areas around the bank into some bushy pondweed so they have some cover to start out in.

Identified the variety in this thread. Water Nymph crayfish

An interesting thing is that snails are just thick in this overflow pipe, trying to migrate up to and into the pond. Some of them are making it. Go RES!
