If you ever fish the upper or middle Potomac or Susquehanna river basin you need to know that there is now a live crayfish bait ban in effect due to the Rusty Crayfish invasive species.

New permanent regulations pertaining to the catch, possession and use as bait of crayfish became effective October 2009. The regulations apply to Middle Potomac River, Upper Potomac River and Susquehanna River Basins. In these basins, anglers may not catch, use or possess any species of crayfish unless the head is removed immediately upon capture.
