Woodsman Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not a good idea to use bait from a VHS positive area in a non VHS area. That being said there is nothing illegal about bring the bait there for personal use. The transport restrictions are on bait for commercial sale.

You need to dispose of any remaining live bait on shore. per MNR: No Release of Bait It is illegal to release any live bait or dump the contents of a bait bucket, including the water, into any waters or within 30 m of any waters. Also here is a link regarding VHS that Woodsman referred to; http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Newsroom/LatestNews/MNR_E004139.html Regards, Pikeslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
