Ontario Mussels (AKA clams) are protected
Hey,
I was considering trying to salt some freshwater clams to use as bait, but I did remember reading once that some were protected by law. Much to my surprise I found that one quarter of native southern Ontario species (11 of 41) are endangered. I quickly forgot my idea to get some from a local river. In fact "it is illegal to collect live native mussels or their shells without a MNR permit". Read this: Mussels_W08.pdf (Size: 501.88 KB / Downloads: 31) Heads up! Cheers, OldTimer <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |

Would that include Zebra mussels? Assuming of course the mussels have already contaminated the area.
I know in saltwater muscles are often my go-to bait. |

If you end up pulling some weeds or branches out of the water with your hook and you find Zebra Mussels, try to take them off or throw it out ect... |
