Pacifastacus
I don't know much about this genus, but P. gambelli is the only species known from Montana so I'll believe that that is what you've got.

Moved
Moved from Bug-like Creatures Not Covered By BugGuide. All inland arthropods are now covered. Please visit this forum if you want to discuss how far we should go in including marine species.

Awww...
Crayfish aren't covered in the guide? Is there another place we can go to for info/identification of these guys instead?

Yum!
Almost too pretty to eat (almost). I like the blue and red claws.
