回复 21楼littlefish的帖子我查了一下鱼规：
关于抓minnow的工具有以下要求：
A minnow is statutorily defined as any fish in the minnow
family (Cyprinidae) except carp and goldfish.
Persons possessing a valid sport fishing license
may take minnows with cast nets (not larger than
8 feet in diameter and having a mesh size not
larger than 3/8 inch bar measurement), shad
scoops (not larger than 30 inches in diameter or
longer than 4 feet in length and having a bar
mesh size not larger than 1/2 inch), or a minnow
seine (no longer than 20 feet in length, deeper
than 6 feet or having a mesh size larger than 1/2
inch bar measurement), or a trap not more than
36 inches in length, 24 inches in width, and with
mesh no larger than 1/2 inch bar measurement.
关于用minnow是这么说的：
There is nothing in the Illinois Fish Code which
prohibits the use of legally taken bluegill or sunfish
as bait for another species of fish, but bluegill/sunfish（似乎其他鱼不容许呢？)
can only be used at the body of water from
which they were taken.The bluegill/ sunfish must
have been taken by a properly licensed sport fisherman
using legal sportfishing devices. You must
also observe all size and creel limits both where
the bluegill/ sunfish were taken and where they
are being used as bait. Also, it is illegal to cut up
or dress or be in possession of cut up or dressed
fish on any body of water where there is a size
limit for that particular species of fish.
