Obviously if you buy the trout from the hatchery you need to have the receipt on you. Using small fish to catch BIG fish is mother natures doing. The nature of the beast. Im not going to say I used the trout for bait on here, too many people are sensitive. TIGHT LINES!!!

I scoured the fish regulations site and no where does it indicate that Trout cannot be used as bait.
And there is NO size limit on Trout in the Delaware River. The bag limit is 5, and the open season is April 14 at 8 a.m.– Oct. 15
So.....
