The price of bait increase (due to the increased expense of health testing) and it will probably reduce the supply to anglers from store bought sources.
NY has some pretty rigorous rules regarding bait fish now too.
Bait shops in this state now need a mountain of paperwork to keep and sell bait fish. Evidently it's put many, many of them out of business. We were up in the Adirondack's on some of the Fulton Chain lakes last year and had to drive half an hour to buy bait fish. It ended up being a pet shop! Definitely easier to trap your own if you're on a BOW for more than a day.
