I find using Asian Carp minnows live works best when im fishing for Sturgeon. After I catch a sturgeon i release all the carp. I then use the sturgeon eggs after that point it just works better. Thats the best way to use live bait in the NSR.  .....

If it was illegal to use live bait then why can you buy live bait containers with an aerator... That being said you are not allowed to use barbed hooks but you buy 99% of them with barbs.....

This thread clearly shows that you don't know the regs.

It is simple, if you don't want to go out and buy frozen minnows than you should be breeding your own. Think what would happen to the fish populations if everyone was out trapping their own bait. It doesn't sound like a big deal but it adds up.

The minnows end up back in the lake so nothing is taken out, it's merely borrowed for a bit.

Sounds like a good plan, any ideas where one might legally find some breeding stock ?

Errr...where do you figure the ones in the tubs come from? Y'know...the tubs of shiners that have the occasional stickleback or perch minnow in the batch?

I think it would be hard for them to breed when they are frozen, (think shrinkage) 
thing is, possession of live minnows is illegal. even if you bred your own. you can always do what I do and catch them in the canals, have a pail of salted water and drop them in, instant death and preserved all in one easy step.

hmmm... how many minnows do you think a pike you catch on single minnow eats in a day, week, month? Its almost like a perpetual motion machine! The more minnows used as bait, the more minnows in the lake! Just no big fish left!

you might be able to get fathead minnows from a scientific supply company, but you realize you will spending a lot more money trying to breed your own bait than you would buying or trapping them from a lake. You also might need a permit to purchase them from within Alberta as well. I don't know man, seems like a waste of time to me

I know it is a waste of time it, I was trying to get the college fisherman to do some research . Keeping live native fish is illegal and using fish raised in aquariums or ponds for bait is also a no-no.

if it is for research, you should have no problem getting both a permit as well as broodstock. If you are really interested in doing this, PM me and I can send you the contact info for a supplier in Ontario.
