legal cut bite

[tweedwolfscream]

Is "cut bite" the same as cut bait? I've never heard it called "bite" before.

As far as I understand it, anything can be used as cut bait unless it's specifically prohibited in the zone regs or local exceptions. For example smelt in any form is illegal as bait in some northern Ontario FMZs, and of course you can't use cut bait of any sort in waters with artificial lures only rules. Live bait has to be from among the baitfish species listed in the regs summary, but dead bait doesn't.
