This makes me feel slightly better on avoiding a huge screw-up.
Under 115-15-1
(c) A threatened or endangered species taken during established trapping seasons, authorized commercial wildlife operations, fishing by hook and line, bait fish seining, or other lawful activity shall not be unlawfully taken if immediately released.
In addition to the Topeka Shiners, I may also have Arkansas River Shiners which are on the Threatened & Endangered List. I may also have Arkansas Darters which are only on the Species in Need of Conservation list.
I suspect I will be sending lots of photos to the forum for help identifying baitfish next spring!
