New NYS temporary live bait reg!!!!

[seasquirrel]

Just thought I would give some of you guys a heads up on the new temporary regulation on live bait in NYS. Those of you doing some ice fishing or river 'eye fishing and buying bait need to keep your receipt to prove you bought the bait. You can no longer trap minnows from one body of water to use in another until further notice. I dont know how localized this reg is but... Maybe you have known this but I just found out today when I bought some fatheads. By the way we froze our butts off today!

What if you trapped minnows in the same body of water that you were fishing in?

That's what they want, local bait in the same waters, and no more than 100 minnows per person in possession, dead or alive, that's the minnows dead or alive.

Correct! Minnows trapped from the same body of water is fine.
