Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Make sure you check on all the new rules/regulations that Michigan has set in place since the whole VHS thing.
GENERAL STATEWIDE PROVISIONS
1. A person shall not stock baitfish or live fish that are listed as Susceptible Fish Species, or roe taken from fish that are listed as Susceptible Fish Species, in public waters of the state prior to receiving a Fish Stocking Permit from the department permitting such activity. It shall be unlawful to import into this state any uncertified baitfish species found on the list of Susceptible Fish Species. This also is a violation of the federal order.
2. If an approved Fish Stocking Permit is issued by the department, the permittee shall carry that Fish Stocking Permit with them when transporting and stocking baitfish or live fish that are listed as Susceptible Fish Species, or roe taken from fish that are listed as Susceptible Fish Species, in public waters of the state.
3. A retail customer shall retain and show upon request the receipt for purchases of baitfish or roe from a state-licensed baitfish retail operation. A receipt shall be valid for 14 days for all certified baitfish (except frozen certified baitfish which will be good for 6 months). The receipt for all uncertified baitfish will be good for three days. Required only when Susceptible Fish Species are involved.
