Not a jug person but you raised my couriousity. This is what it says in the regulations. Hope it helps. 50 jugs are the max and they cannot be used within 200 yards of the dam.

One person may use no more than
two sport fishing trotlines or 50 jug lines
per boat) or 25 set lines at any one time.
Each sport fishing trotline, jug line or set
line must be: 1) permanently labeled with
the name and address of the user; 2) baited,
checked and all fish removed at least
once every 24 hours; 3) removed from
water, bank or tree when fishing ceases.
Prohibited Areas: Sport fishing
trotlines, jug lines or set lines may
not be used within 200 yards below any dam.

He may not be "Sport Fishing" if he is doing it everyday. And that might be the rub.

Well I called the FW office this morning who immediately took my name and number and wanted a CO to return my call. I thought that was kinda odd... The CO called me back and asked a bunch of questions. After I answered all his questions I asked him a couple. They had reports of people jug fishing that are throwing back all the fish they are catching. He said with the price of cavier being really high right now they are worried about this guy only keeping paddlefish.

There is a pontoon doing it at the Falls and blocks up the Chute bigtime with all that mess. He puts out way too many and if they get hung up he just lives them and rives off for somebody to get it hung up in their prop and tear up the seals.

Justin...are you serious this conservation officer fellow was worried about plankton eating paddlefish being caught on a jug? Is that possible? ( To catch them with a jug I mean.) That does'nt sound right. Glad you called those folks though.

Well I know they can be caught on jug lines. There was a guy busted at hoovey lake catching them on jug lines. They threw the book at that guy.
