Neo, is the fish on herring strips and or whole herring verified VHF free, for use in new york and michigan?
Scott - I don't usually chime in too, too often, but thought I'd shoot a message out for clarification. I have been in conversations for the past few days with both the NY and MI heads of DEC/DNR - we'll be just fine.

NY DEC explained that things do not change in the state of New York this coming season. There are some proposed regulations that may or may not go into effect in October that prohibit some baitfish (they are focusing on live fish in particular), but nothing is concrete and our fish remains compliant.

His exact words were "frozen - and therefore dead - fish are not able to reproduce in any way that I am aware of".

MI DNR has a sample of our baitfish arriving today, so that they can confirm that our baits are NOT Pacific Herring. You see, our fish do not come from any location with known VHS exposure, and are compliant with all Michigan legislation.

Shoot me a message if you need further clarification or go to our Great Lakes page to download and print our compliance letter and you should be fine.
