[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 288138, member: 7544"] Crayfish/crawdads do live in ditches and they do it very well as they will multiply rapidly, as long as some farmer doesn't introduce certain chemicals into the water system when he sprays his fields/crops. They are also raised commercially around here, in ponds that avg about 18-24" deep. As for freshwater muscles, as a young boy we would wade the local rivers and feel for muscles with our bare feet on the muddy bottom as we pulled our boat along. There were days we could almost overload the boat enough to sink it. We sold the muscles to a local buyer for their shells which were used for making buttons. I'm not sure what variety they were but they avg'd about 8" long and 2.5" thick at their max diameter. [/QUOTE]
