Two pictures from another recent trip up the Geddes burn by Nairn anglers to check the traps. One of the anglers told the Gurn:"The large cray fish on the left was over 7 inches long from tail to claw tip, the 3rd cray fish from the left was the mother of the 47 young in front of her which we got last week. In total we had 14 cray fish plus 47 young, today we had another 14 plus 32 young. In the last 2 weeks since you did the original artical we have caught 28 plus 79 young, this gives us a total count of 151 so far for the season, and it is only the end of June, (we keep doing this untill the end of October) 151 which will no longer breed! Who says we are wasting our time?"
Over to you SNH - still not supporting the efforts of the Nairn Anglers to protect the local eco-system from the invaders?

Dear Anonymous,
Do you mean the crayfish or the anglers?
Do crayfish eat the ducks?
Why not give up with the salmon fishing and sell the crayfish instead!
Yes. They look tasty. Where can we get them?
Permission from SNH would be needed before Nairn beat other seaside towns to it by offering Crayfish suppers.
Can you fish for them at the harbour yet.What a tourist attraction that would be.
does a crab,with 2 little nippers,get family allowance
