In all the years i have been fishing i have only rarely seen a crayfish and those that i have come across are the American signal type.

 

If you wish to fish for crayfish then it is worth bearing in mind that the only type that you csan fish for is the American Signal Crayfish as the native British species is now protected.

 

Crayfish plague as spread by the signal has been responsible for the decline, or in some cases the complete eradication of the native Crayfish from British waters.

 

If you wish to fish for them the EA will offer every encouragement, i think you need to approach them for a licence which they will readily grant, and then just get permission from the holder of the Riperian rights for the water/ waters you wish to visit, but remembner all native Crayfish to be returned.

 

All the best

The EA will only grant trapping consents in certain areas and for certain reasons, they will dole them to most applications out down south but you will find they are not given out so readily in the north.
