RIO's Baby Daddy

Crayfish, or crawdads, can be an important part of a trout's diet, but the percentage they make up depends on several factors, such as the size of the trout, the time of year, and the specific body of water. In crawdad-rich environments, they can be a significant supplemental prey item. While this food source is available year-round, it becomes more key in the fall and winter when aquatic and terrestrial insects are minimal.
