How to Catch the BEST Trout Bait For FREE! (Fishing Using Live Minnows for Rainbow and Brown Trout) 

Reversible? Is that you?

Go for it! Minnows are some of the best bait for trout!

No hate just wondering

Good question! I believe that it is only illegal if you catch bait from one stream and introduce it to another stream to use. It is fine if you use bait you caught from the same stream. For example, plenty of people catch sunfish and use them as bait for bigger species like catfish :) From the PA Fish and Boat Website: "TAKING AND KEEPING BAIT is permitted using rod and reel or handline, dip net or minnow seine not over 4 feet square in diameter, or a minnow trap with no more than two openings that shall not exceed 1 inch in diameter. All devices must be under the immediate control of the person using them. Unattended minnow traps or baitfish containers left in Commonwealth waters must be identified with the owner’s or user’s name, address and telephone number. If fishing in a group and the total number of fishbait or baitfish taken exceeds the possession limit (50), separate containers must be provided for the fishbait and baitfish. Total possession limit in any one container may not exceed 50 baitfish or fishbait combined."
