I read today that they've now been found in tributories of the River Clyde  .

Wouldn't surprise me, think they are just about everywhere now

Put the traps out for the first time this year and took my daughter along as usual, what was great was the Mrs and my son coming for the first time and what a haul. We tool 42 signal crayfish out the river on the farm. Last year the record was 22. Hot weather and enough rain to keep the river topped up has definitely played a part. Because of the amount the teams are out again to see if we can lift a few more out before they damage things to much
