Question: I have heard it is illegal to use salmon heads as bait in Dungeness crab traps. Is this true?
Answer: California Fish and Game law does not specifically prohibit using the pieces and parts of salmon in crab traps as long as the salmon were otherwise legally taken, landed and/or acquired. Salmon not taken in accordance with these laws (e.g., size limits, seasons, species, etc.) are illegal to possess and use for any purpose.
