The trout I use are from the company I work for. From what I understand though even a wild one is legal to use here but you have to follow the rules on that water about trout. If you are fishing a catch and release stream, then no you can't use a wild one but you can use a hatchery fish for bait.
The thing about using hatchery fish is you HAVE to get a receipt from the hatchery, and they MUST be dead. If they were to give a guy 10 pounds of morts, and they were 4 to the pound. Every fish over 6 would be illegal if you don't have a receipt saying where you got them.
A lot of guys use trout here for sturgeon bait and it is perfectly legal. Ron
