Crawfish & Walleye Q & A.

[Walleye Express]

Huge population of crawfish(s) spread everywhere in the reservoir, as far as I know they are also feeding on walleye's eggs and fries so this will cause reduction in walleye's population, I wanna know if walleye's feed on crawfish(s) or they will disapear from this reservoir soon!

Crawfish go through a "Soft Shell" faze sometime twice a year where they (like snakes) have to shed their skins/shells to grow. My dad used to send me and my brother down to the local ditch during these times to net or "can fish" for them. We caught many bass and giant perch with these baits. Many game fish Key on crayfish during this faze and take advantage of it when the time is right. And crayfish might eat a few fish eggs when they can find them, but a crawfishes catching skills of live fish isn't good enough IMV to desimate a fry or fingerling population during that cycle of their lives..
