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:

Heads up!
