You found the mother load! I used to find them in the bellies of brookies and splake that I caught in Algonquin Park. I don't think that you can legally use them as bait though.

Wow, we used to catch some on rocky shorelines of Oxtongue Lake when I was a kid, never seen anything like that however. I am sure that like all amphibians they are under stress, hope no one is using them as bait, legally or otherwise.

My sons and I witnessed the same thing in my Dads pond a few weeks ago. They were the salamanders with the blue dots on them. I caught a couple so the kids could have a closer look. The branches nearby had thousands of eggs on them. Cute critters for sure. Great video

Just want to make clear that I have never used them as bait, just simply stating that they would be good bait as I'm sure fish don't mind eating them.

It is illegal to use them as bait in Ontario. I am not sure about the rest of Canada.
