Wax Worms

[trapshooter]

In the regs it says that you are not allowed to use bait in the bow river, do wax worms count as bait or can I use them?

[nicemustang]

How is that confusing? Is it something you put on you hook to attract fish? Yes. Then it's bait. Have you read the regs?

Fishing with Bait
Bait — the definition of bait (see Definitions) includes, but is not restricted to: corn, cheese, marshmallows, meat, maggots, meal worms, earthworms, wax worms, gammarus shrimp, leeches, terrestrial insects, the larvae, pupae or adults of aquatic insects (e.g., stonefly, mayfly, caddis fly), bait fish, parts of fish, fish eggs, scented baits, power baits and all additives that scent or flavour artificial baits and lures.


"Is it something you put on you hook to attract fish?"

There are many things you can put on a hook to attract fish that would not be considered bait.

The only thing that would not be considered bait would be a treble hook,plain hook, wire worm, fly hook, and some non scented jig heads.

Plus spoons, spinners, crankbaits, plastic bodied (non scented) baits, jigs with non-scented rubber boddies, jigging sppons, bucktail jigs, maribou jigs, artificial flies and countless others.

im pretty sure when you fish the park where no bait is allowed, you can use a rubber worm as long as it isnt scented. You can also use a barbed hook in the park, thats ridonkuless. take it easy mustang
