Regarding the tilapia bait question, it would be illegal to use tilapia for bait. The way the fishing guide lays it out on page 12 in the Bait section, when it comes to using fish it only mentions what is allowed and then everything else is prohibited. So it mentions some species that can be used at the waters where they were caught such as perch, cisco, white bass, etc. Then there are the species that you can use anywhere bait is permitted which include dead mountain sucker, Utah sucker, redside shiner, and carp. Then it also mentions the use of commercially processed fish baits. That's pretty much it. If tilapia were to be permitted, it would be included in the section that outlines the dead fish that can be used at any water where bait is permitted.
