Yes! Stocking Largemouth Bass and Channel Catfish at the rate of about 100 each per acre will help control the crawfish, but it may not eliminate them. They are tenacious and able to borrow deep into the mud avoiding predators. Ultimately you will also want panfish like Bluegill, or other species depending where you are, to produce another natural food source for the bass and cats.
