    Froglegs anhyone??

    The lower mainland has been infested with bullfrogs that are not a native species and I would like to know it anybody knows of a good spot to harvest some. I have not had a good feed of froglegs since I was a teen and would like to find a source. As well that might play a small part in reducing the population. No, they dont taste like chicken
    I have all the gear I need to get into swampy areas that they habituate plus I am retired so I have some time....

    I have always wanted to find a place in the fraser valley that holds bull frogs and is not polluted by by city drainage or farm run-off. Tough to come by though I would imagine.

    I don't know if infested is the right word.
    I've only even heard them in the Semiahmoo F&G pond.
    But I would love to get me some frog legs too.

    Whonnock lake has bullfrogs! Nice warm lake too. What are the legalities of harvesting them? I want some legs too.

    For some reason I have a vague memory of catching them on Gabriola when I was little.

    I remember back about 35 years ago there were these two young fellers that used to drive around Pitt Polder shooting frogs with pellet guns as in the evening they would come out onto the road that was warm from daytime sun !!!

    I can't remember there names but they had a riot !

    Ate them all the time when I was younger. Walked the edge of lakes in the evening with a wood box with screened sides and rubber flaps for a top. Catch a frog, stick your hand in the box and release, carry on.
    Had a special tool for skinning the legs and removing them from the body all in one pass.
    Ate bucket loads, cause that's all there was for supper, Lol.

    There are quite a few in langley. Both brookswood pond and brydon lagoon have populations. Easy access, though unsure of legalities with the township.
    I don't shoot innocent animals... Just the ones that look guilty!
