Stacie,
I have a question regarding catch and release while using bait.
By looking at the regulations, it looks to me that if you are fishing with bait in a river, stream, or beaver pond, you must keep every legal sized fish you catch until the limit is reached (usually 2). For lakes, it looks to be different. You can catch and realease all you want, but if the fish swallows the hook, or is badly injured, you have to keep it. Once you have your limit, you are done. Is this true? Or are lakes and rivers the same when it comes to bait fishing?
