Where is that listed? The list of allowable baitfish species in the regs summary only applies to live fish, though there are certain non-fish critters it says cannot be imported and used as bait whether or not alive. What fish are legal to import into Ontario but illegal to use, dead, as bait (other than certain local exceptions, like no dead cisco in Algonquin or no organic bait at all in certain rivers)?

Careful - use of smelt as bait, alive or dead, is illegal in many MNR Ontario zones....check the regs...... and smelt are readily available in many of the grocery stores..... heads up!
