Prickly Pear Creek Fishing Access Site
I was VERY surprised to see this beastie, and didn't submit my observation for weeks, thinking it was an anomaly. Maybe an escapee from someone carrying it to this location? There IS a very small, very contained drainage creek nearby, still full of water.
I have since seen two others crayfish. It might be a Calico Crayfish, but I wasn't able to see a notch at the base of the 'finger' of the claw, which is a good indicator of the calico...
Caught in the BItterroot drainage. They are kind of everywhere.
