Fishing (or "Treading") for Crayfish. "The method adopted by the Aborigines in South Australia<br />
when fishing for freshwater crayfish is as follows: The fisher puts between his teeth an ordinary<br />
rush bag, to hold the crayfish, which he first dislodges with his toes and then catches them with<br />
his hands, bagging them rapidly." After Worsnop, 1897:96 and plate 48.<br />
