Primo sturgeon bait

[Jager]

Just make sure that whitefish are legal to use a bait up in Idaho.  Whitefish are NOT legal as bait in Utah since they are classified as a gamefish.  Over the years I've seen a couple of tickets issued for using whitefish as bait at Bear Lake.  Bonneville cisco are an exception to the rule in Utah, since they are also classified as a gamefish, yet can be used as bait..... but only at Bear Lake.

All dead gamefish are legal to use as bait, in Idaho, as long as the gamefish, one is using for bait, is legal to have in possession on that body of water, and also assuming bait is legal to use on that body of water.  For example, if it is only legal to have a 12" or larger bass in possession, on a body of water, one cannot legally use an 8" bass for bait.  I have also tried cisco, for sturgeon bait in Idaho, and I have had a little luck with it, but nothing special.  I wish Utah would allow all dead gamefish to be used as bait.  

I have also known of people erroneously thinking whitefish are legal to use as bait on Bear Lake.

I wish Utah would allow live certified minnows as bait.

Just make all the minnows that are legal baby rainbow trout. 

That way you can stock more slime buckets in all the lakes on your own dime.
