Is it too late in the year to catch crawdads in Ohio?

I’ve set traps everywhere, creeks rivers ponds, nothing. Raw bacon, tuna, etc. I am still able to get one or two by hand flipping rocks but nothing worth my time. Just a few weeks ago they were everywhere. Have they all burrowed underground?

Sounds like the time to get a few packs of Zoom Craws. Pick out a few colors you feel good about. 1/16 oz jighead w/ 2/0 hook and go at it. 6’8” - 6’9” ML fast action rod, 6 lb. test. I’m feeling it.

I’ve never been able to catch anything with artificial lures in this river. I ask every fisherman I see out there throwing lures all summer how their luck has been they say bad. I always catch at least 5-6 using live crawdads, minnows and nightcrawlers.
