Do your part and go eat a bug in Grand Marais if you have the chance. :-)

“It has been another busy summer of catching invasive rusty crayfish in Cook County lakes for Yusef Orest and Garrett Lima, owners of Crawdaddies MN.

“‘We made quite the dent in the rusty population,’ said Orest.

“This season, Crawdaddies caught 40,000 rusty crayfish in Cook County lakes.

“In Caribou Lake, Orest said they caught over 1100 pounds, all of which have gone to market to be sold locally at Cook County businesses. ‘Most of them get eaten in either the Angry Trout or The Fisherman’s Daughter or for some local events that we support.’”
