flathunter , where did you here of someone getting fined for fishing with blue gills?? it is not illeagel to fish with blue gills . if ther are cought with a rod and reel leaguly. hoot

[george tinkham]

its illegal to transport gamefish from one body of whater to another.

[CatDaddy]

I didnt know bluegills were game fish.

[hntnfsh]

Not much of a game, unless you use ultra-light gear.

[M.Magis]

I think any fish not classified as a rough fish is considered a game fish. Actually, it's illegal to INTRODUCE a species of fish into a body of water. Tranporting bluegill from one body of water to another that also contains bluegill is legal. This was clarified from someone on another board. They called the ODNR and this was the answer they were given.

[Mr. Catfish]

I called today and they said you can't use bluegills or other gamefish from a different body of water . Only fish from the same body of water can be used.You call and see what they tell you and lets us know.

[M.Magis]

I have a feeling it'll be hard to get a definite answer.:rolleyes: I guess it all comes down to the wording, and what the legal definition of "introduce" is.

Mr. Large Mouth I’ld like you to meet Mr. Young N. Tasty Bluegill.
Mr. Bluegill meet your end….

[george tinkham]

i guess the guy thats gittin fined all that money for catfishin with those bluegill from anouther area deserves clarification on the rule.
