Anyone know if it is legal to collect native fish in California and if you have please share your experiences with me. And tell me what you use and were you go thanks.
 
Dont tell fish and game
but i netted 2 SM Bass fry and 1 sunfish fry, the sunfish got eaten by a cray, one bass didnt adapt to the food i provided, the other bass did great, grew to 3 inches then my mom knocked over his 10 gallon so he died too
beyond that ive kept a number of native fish and loved them!!
 
Can you use small minnow traps not exceeding 36 inches?
 
Familiarize yourself with local & state laws.
No 1 wants a fine.
In some places i guess not a lot of 50 go to.
But near me is a lake which requires a
fishing license & daily permit (~ $5) to
fish out of.
