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.
Ive also tried perch, and bluegill! Not even a sniff...havent had luck on sucker either!
