I know that it used to be illegal to use herring for bait in Lake Hickory. Is this still against the law or can you now use them? Thanks 32Racer
Looks like I found my answer: It is unlawful to possess, transport or release live alewife or
blue back herring in the Little Tennessee River and the Catawba
River, upstream of Lake Rhodhiss dam, and their tributaries and
impoundments. This is from the NC Regulation Book
