What about "chumming" the hole with egg shell or oat meal?Good thread!
"Some people still have it in their minds it's illegal to chum"I'm in that crowd........always thought it was illegal. Must be my eastern upbringing.........lol
It's NOT that they are worried about too many fish being caught, its the prospect of illegal introductions the first time someone dumps their minnow bucket in the lake at the end of the day. IMO, go's hand in hand with why we dont have any "legal" walleye, crappie and other fish, especially in the west. Purist fishing dollars and lobbying, plain and simple. Can't have any "predator" fish gobbling up trout fry...
That's exactly why CERTIFIED bait would work- caught in the drainage, no chance of accidental introductions.
What do you guys know about trapping and using crawfish as bait? As far as I can tell it is allowed..MTA
I wish you the best of luck on spearheading live bait West of the divide. Here's a link regarding one proposed change that was denied this past year. If you read all the discussion pages I think you'll find it a very interesting read. http://montanacats.yuku.com/topic/1977/Still-need-your-help-to-lower-Channel-Cat-limits?page=1
If anyone can help with an alphabetical list of current fish species living in Canyon Ferry, Hauser, and Holter, please let me know.
