| In Wisconsin the way I understand it is you can not transport minnows once they have been on a lake. In other words no taking them from one lake to another or even back to your house to put them in a tank and keep them alive for the next day. Sucker fishing could get REALLY expensive! |

Location: SW Michigan | Actually, here's the official DNR order.

Draw your own conclusions. The rules differ for different areas. There's VHS free zones, VHS positive zones & VHS surveyleince zones. |

| I'm not sure if you're talking within the State, or across State lines. I hear Minnesota plans to start enforcing a rule they let off on for a while. Supposedly, any baitfish over 12 inches in length, is not considered a Minnow anymore. Baitshops can't legally sell suckers over 12" long, like they used to. You can fish with suckers longer than that, but you'll need to buy them from a private hatchery. Not sure about going from lake to lake with them. I'll have to look into it. I do suggest you keep your receipt from the hatchery though, just in case.  |

| Here we go again with the 12" sucker debate. I sugggest catching them in the lake you plan to musky fish or at least say you did! |
