Well I called 2 suppliers who both said it is VERY UNLIKELY they will have any bugs that late in June (19th). They both said "season over" in the next week or so as they get very hard shells etc.

Bummer.............


THis isn't true. The wild(spillway,etc.) is just starting and will be a late season this year. We should have good supplies into late July I would suspect. Maybe even August and later.

They are hard to get right now due to the crawfish farms not producing much and the basin/spillway water levels being too high. Typically the farms stop producing in April/May and that is when the wild kicks in. But not this year. Water was too low at first because of drought and then it got way high due to the river flooding. When the river is as high as it is right now, a lot of the crawfish will be molting and growing which is why they aren't catching a lot right now.
