Crawfish can find their way into a pond in a variety of ways. During the wet season when water levels are high, crawfish can migrate from other nearby ponds or streams. They can also be introduced through the intentional stocking of crawfish or through the accidental introduction of crawfish larvae by birds.

 

For what it’s worth on your pond. 
Sk8man was mentioning the no path as it relates to a waterway for them to swim or migrate. An eagle could always carry one over, although highly unlikely.

The weight your looking for is made by a guy that goes by Bikinibottom on here. You can search his name and should be able to come up with contact info.

I hope the Walleyes reproduce in both Canandaigua and Skaneateles because the DEC has spent too much time stocking Trout in most all the Finger Lakes and not enough Walleyes hardly anywhere. The warm water fisheries have been ignored. Stock more Walleyes and Tiger Muskies other than just a few select lakes. And yes Canandaigua did produce trophy Walleyes as did Hemlock before the Alewives moved in. The DEC should of kept the lakes stocked as some of the biggest walleyes anywhere used to come out of those lakes up to 14-15 lbs.

We do not need no stinking walleye in Canandaigua go to Erie if you want them we have a great rainbow fishery do not screw it up

There are no alewives in hemlock lake.

DEC stocked walleyes for many years in conesus with the hope that it would turn into a self sustaining fishery , and as far as I know this has not been the case.

 I believe you are quite mistaken... the DEC Region 8 forage assessment (year 2019) for Hemlock Lake indicated that alewives were by far the most abundant forage

Cant open this on my phone for some reason but I am looking forward to reading it. Thank you for sharing and educating me. I have seen the large bait schools on my graph but did not realize they were alewives I was looking at.

Lots of wallies in Conesus some in Honeoye too. You can see them spawn in out let at lakeville. Caught many there .Wallies thrive in shallow warm lakes . Lets keep it that way. They like weeds and structure not much of that in Canandaigua over all. Love them Rainbows!

[Crestliner]

 Monster browns In Hemlock. They must be eating something . Actually caught one not long ago that was puking Saw bellies and still bit! Just like Lake Ontario Browns ( them pigs)
