Isle Royale National Park bans bait in Lake Superior

Isle Royale National Park announced an immediate ban Tuesday on all organic bait in the waters of Lake Superior near the big island.

The ban includes all live and dead minnows, fish parts, worms or other organic bait unless they were taken from the same water.

The ban makes it illegal to possess any fish or fish parts for bait that don’t come from the park waters of the lake. Organic bait already had been banned in waters on the island.
