Question: Can you please define bait for me? Some rivers have a no-bait restriction. Can I use rubber egg imitations? And if so, can I also add some scent to the rubber eggs?
Answer: Bait is not specifically defined in California Fish and Game fishing regulations, but rubber eggs or any similar item is covered by the definition for Artificial Lure in Section 1.11 in the Freshwater Sport Fishing Regulations booklet. An artificial lure is a manmade lure or fly designed to attract fish. This definition does not include scented or flavored artificial baits. Often these regulations also state barbless hooks.
Bait that is authorized for use is defined in Section 4.00 of the fishing regulations as: "Legally acquired and possessed invertebrates, mollusks, crustaceans, amphibians (except salamanders), fish eggs and treated and processed foods..."
Rubber egg imitations without scent would qualify as an artificial lure and may be used in waters where artificial lure restrictions are in effect.
