Your 2014 fishing regulations state: “Rivers and Streams: It is illegal to take or possess more than 25 nongame bait fish, except for shad, of which 200 may

be taken or possessed.”



Does this apply to commercially purchased minnows, and, if so, is it per person or per boat?



Thank you

I went a head and printed this email response out and will have it on me with my fishing license in the boat. It might be a good idea for anyone else using minnows to do the same. If you need a copy I will have it with me in the morning. Hopefully One Stop has a copy machine.
