Fishing the tailrace. One of those pesky half stunned smelt get by all the birds and fish and ends up in my hand as I reach over to fetch it. Can I use it for bait on my hook, legally?
That would be nice but I would think keeping them alive for any sort of travel would be incredibly difficult. I sure miss the old days of sucker minnows on Sak and the Missouri though.
Absolutely would love to be able to use suckers again, they are native to the missouri river system. They are legal in the Red River so why not the Missouri?
I cant wait until the smelt start to run in the river again by the thousands. use to go out and net a 5 gal bail full in about a 6six pack of time and then have a big old smelt fry (good shit there.)
