Anglers not allowed to bring live aquatic bait to the state

Anglers are reminded that it is illegal to import minnows and other forms of live aquatic bait, such as leeches and frogs, into the state.

When purchasing live aquatic bait, anglers must buy from a licensed North Dakota retail bait vendor. Bait vendors can properly identify species and ensure all bait is clean of any aquatic nuisance species.
