Abstract: A crawfish trap which includes a pair of frame members, one of which is fitted with a receiving loop and the other carrying a mating hook for engagement with the receiving loop, both of the frame members having a pair of legs and feet extending from the point of attachment of the loop and hook, respectively, to support the trap netting. The open mesh netting is fitted to the frame and covers the bottom and a portion of all four sides formed by the frame members to define a generally truncated pyramid with an opening in the top of the trap immediately below the frame loop and hook to permit entry of the crawfish. The trap is designed to be submerged in a body of water and located by a float and float line attached to the frame members, which float and line also serve to permit the trap to be lifted from the water for collection of the entrapped crawfish.
