Any ideas as to how i could control their numbers? or perhaps i could get some kind of crab cage? I introduced some turtles but they seem to be more interested in the frogs than the crabs. Any suggestions would be of most help. Thanks
    Have you considered stocking it with fish? Trout love crabs.....so much so that there are concerns over the crab population at Lakensvlei. The once thriving population has been descimated by the trout! Is Lakensvlei another candidate for Rotenone perhaps?

    which is a reason why my best fly at LAkensvlei has been the Merkin!!

    What put me onto using it was cutting open a fish .. found 16 crabs in its stomach ... some of which were still alive!!!
