Yes, all legal game or non-game fish are legal to use for bait in Idaho. Once, when we were camped up there, a boat launched just before nightfall and a guy said he was going to try to catch some perch. He said that perch were the best bait to use for sturgeon, so of course, I started trying perch for bait. So far, I haven't gotten a bite on perch.
Many of the locals, in Idaho, use crappie exclusively for sturgeon bait. Also, there is a group of sturgeon anglers that only use rainbow trout morts (small rainbow trout that died in the many fish farms in Idaho) for bait.
