Are they under rocks in creeks?
Can you catch them in nets?
Or can you fish for them?

you get a short piece of fishing sting and tie a one half inch yarn on. on the edge of a creek or pond throw the string and yarn in the water and watch for the crawdad to pinch the yarn and pull it out quickly and grab the crawdad.

the way i do it is just to put a worm on a hook, then let it sit at the bottom of the body of water till something pulls at it. Then pull slowly, so the crawdad doesn't get away.
Our family does this in a resevoir. I don't know how well it would work anywhere else.

All these answers and the easiest way left out. Just use a leaf rake to pull them up on the bank. This method works best in a ditch are creek. Rake them up like leaves.

I can't believe I'm answering this question or even admitting that I have any knowledge on the subject. Oh well! Get a stick about an inch in diameter and about two to three feet long. Tie a piece of fishing line or even string around the stick. Tie a hook to the other end of the string. Put a small piece of bacon on the hook and drop the hook in the water. Guarantee it works.

We use string with bacon tied on to it or a net with bacon tied into it. They will come out to eat the bacon. You can catch them in creeks, slower rivers, lakes. We also have sat above the bait with "grabber" tools and pick them up when they come out to get the bacon.
Have Fun

As a kid in the midwest my grandpa taught me a few different methods....
One... a large coffee can with about a dozen holes punched in the bottom put the open end of the can facing upstream toward the flow of water. Put a few bread crusts in, nothing eral big... and wait about an hour... maybe two.
Two... a stick with two strings and a piece of bacon tied loosely bewteen the stings... hang it in the water ina shaded area..... and once again wait about an hour....
And last.... a crawfish trap.... they are made of 1/4 mesh wire. The main cage is about 12 to 16 inches in diameter and about 2 foot long... the ends are inverted funnels.... and we would put a few small pieces of chicken liver and bread and elave it over night.... it was usually our best producer.

Crawfish and crawdads, about the same thing right?
In Louisiana they use flat bottom boats (perots) and traps. You could also try nets the live in shallow water.

Yes you can go to a shallow creek or tank and sain them. You can also go out after dark and go along a creek bank or tank and pick them up, like you would nitecrawlers. When I was a kid I did this it was so fun.

My father used to catch them when he was little.
I think he said they were in small creeks.

No bait is needed. Just lower a peice of string in where they are at, and they will grab on. I guarentee it!
