Thanks for all of the advice.
jpsdad, I think your interpretation of the baitfish regulation is more likely correct than mine - and certainly yours makes more sense. I also agree they could write and post regulatory information in a much more "useful to the public" manner.
None of my searches on the state's website produced the actual relevant regulations.
BranClan, thanks for the Texas version. I always like to know how they do it in other states, because that may help clarify a murky regulation in my state. Your Texas rule sounds like it is designed to stop the spread of zebra mussels rather than prevent the spread of nuisance bait fish.
Your idea to call the Game Warden is obviously my best course of action. I believe Kansas even added a Fisheries Biologist a few years ago that was supposed to answer questions of that nature.
Now that I am getting closer to starting my ponds, I definitely need to find out if we have a good biologist able to answer both legal and practical questions.
Thanks, Rod
