Fresh water clams as sturgeon bait?

[wildbill]

I was on the NSR last night and saw the clams everywhere just wondering
1.) are they legal to use as bait?
2.) do they work as sturgeon bait?
Saw a few Dino's breaching last night while I was fly fishing

No one?

Just use worms

[Kurt505]

Use clams

Clams are filter feeders, they help clean the water. Let them be, and use minnows or worms or other readily available bait, they all work.

X2, so many questions posted on here can be answered with quick phone call to F&W, that way you have the correct and legal answer.

You get a different answer every time you call ... gets frustrating after a while when the people getting paid to enforce the laws do not know them well enough to give the answers.

Yup, I've seen totally different answers by officers, totally wrong answers, and a few correct answers. Sometimes asking of other people's real life experiences help just as much or more. It also adds discussion to a forum which is a forums main goal, to create discussions and relate storys.

I've co's tell me a treble hook was three hooks and another tell me it was one hook, they seem know how to look at fishing licenses well enough though, thanks for all the great info!
