Bob,

I don't have the book in front of me right now, but I'm sure you'll be able to look it up in the RCW's...the law states that it is illegal to create a blanket ban on bait in state waters. Bait bans must be specific to an area and have a specific reason to back it up...i.e., bait is banned on the summer in the Snoqualmie to protect the small run of wild Tolt River summer runs.

Fish on...

Todd.
