 Batted minnows, sticklebacks, and creek chubs are the only legal live bait fish outside of the Boyd to Sioux and Red Rivers. The transportation of live white suckers other than in Richland, Cass, Trail, Grand Forks, Walsh, and Pemina counties is illegal. In addition, it is illegal for anglers to import minnows and other forms of live aquatic bait, such as leeches and frogs, into North Dakota. When purchasing live aquatic bait, anglers must buy from a licensed North Dakota retail bait vendor.
