Members Versatile Futurian Posted January 8, 2013 Members Posted January 8, 2013 Anyone know what color the crawfish typically are on Beaver lake or have a picture? Thanks
jeb Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 They change colors based on time of year, bottom composition, etc. I scuba dive on Beaver and have seen several different colored ones in the same area. Size varies a lot, too. For a current description, see "nwaoutdoorsman" post towards the end of the "Beaver report 1/5/13" thread in this forum. John B 08 Skeeter SL210, 225F Yamaha
nwaoutdoorsman Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The ones I've seen lately have been a medium to dark olive with orange on the pinchers and orange splotches along the body. But Jeb is right, they will change colors at different times of the year. I fileted some walleye a couple weeks ago and they were full of them. I wanted to take some pics, but my hands were nasty and I didn't want that all over my phone, but I wish I had. As far as crawdads go they were some of the most brilliantly colored I've ever seen.

John Hodge, HLS Outdoors Thats the same crawfish that you will find all over Arkansas. Some of them have a checkerboard pattern thats very hard to paint. Ive also seen them with a olive green back, hint of teal on the sides, and a khaki belly.

Guest Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I'm looking for mid to late april I might get slammed for this but those fish dont know any different. my 3 main colors: brown back,olive sides, orange belly olive back, red sides, orange belly brown back, khaki sides and belly or olive with a khaki belly. It really doesnt matter, but its a confidence thing for fishermen
