Use of Live Minnows as bait on a Reservoir
5-31-2012
CDFG
Question: When fishing in a reservoir, can I use live minnows purchased from a bait shop?
Answer: While moving live fish and/or placing live fish into a different body of water from where they originated is usually illegal in California (CCR, Title 14, Section 1.63 and FGC Section 6400), there is an exception. Depending upon which district you are fishing, certain species are allowed to be purchased and used as bait, while other species may only be allowed as bait if captured on the specific water you are fishing. Live bait regulations are found starting with Title 14 Section 4.00 of the California Code of Regulations. You should review sections 4.10-4.30 for specific information regarding the species that may be used in your district.
