New permanent regulations pertaining to the catch, possession and use as bait of crayfish became effective October 2009. The regulations apply to Middle Potomac River, Upper Potomac River and Susquehanna River Basins. In these basins, anglers may not catch, use or possess any species of crayfish unless the head is removed immediately upon capture. Also, anglers may not catch and possess any female crayfish bearing eggs. Eggs on the female are found attached to the underside of the abdomen. These must be immediately returned to the water where they were caught.
