Crayfish in Winni
There still is a healthy population of crayfish in the lake. Many fish that I catch spit them up during the fight. The increased population of predator fish such as rock bass and white perch as well as loons has forced the crayfish to adapt in order to survive. I catch fish in 30 feet of water that will cough up 3 crayfish at a time...just because we don't see them where we did 30 years ago, does not mean they are not there, or the population is dwindling. I also have trapped over fifty in one night in one trap in the Gilford area of the lake.
