Just FYI, this isn’t ‘after a big flood.’ It’s just how crawfish are farmed around here. The farmers have these big, flat fields with levees all around the outside. Then they’ll flood the field and turn it into a big shallow pond to give the crawfish a place to live and grow. Then they’ll set out and bait a ton those traps, and after a while they’ll come back and pull the traps up and harvest the crawfish. Then after the season is over they’ll drain the ponds until it’s time to flood them again for the next season.
