Day 35 - Crawfish Traps

 


We saw these things today in flooded fields that looked like traps of some kind. Shannon mused about them possibly being crawfish traps.

And I was wondering why all the fields looked as though they were intentionally flooded. "They look like rice paddies" I said.

So when we found some time later I googled it and guess what - we were both right! Rice has been a big crop in Louisiana for a long time and some farmers augment that by using the rice as bait and trap crawfish too.

Who knew??
