So it says it the reg book. That you can't have exposed bait over water in the muscatine county portion of the Mississippi River. But does that mean all water in muscatine county? The way it's worded it sounds like just that portion of the river. Which is kinda dumb as I can have exposed bait on the Illinois side of the river.

You CAN use fish sticks in the mississippi,missouri,and desmoines river corridors as long as youre not in an area that the river could never flood out to. If theres no chance that the river has or will ever create a backwater due to flooding then its ok. That came from George Scalf who called Des Moines DNR headquarters and asked for a clearer definition. Right Dale Billingsly?

They read that NO WHERE in the state can exposed bait be used on land. They cannot be used over water in the specified corridors. So the way it reads the only place you can use them is over water as long as it is not in one of the specified counties. |

OK. Just handing down info that I got. The regulations were the same when George contacted them?? I think he wanted the definition of corridor defined. The "river corridor" is the high water mark of the "corridor". So therefor you can set in specified counties as long as you are not in the "corridor" which is the all time high water mark.

I am aware that over dry land it is illegal. But over water it says the corridor of the river. Not the whole county that's how I read it

And the definition of corridor was addressed and determined.

you could take a piece of pvc with a 90 on one end, stick that in the water, and that is not considered exposed
