Can anybody tell me the rules for jug fishing. Is it allowed in Ct. I know it is allowed in other states.

I would like to know the rules before I go out and toss a couple of lines and then go fish another area of the lake.



Thanks

I asked the DEP the same question. The response I got is in red:
Quote:
[I]s "jug fishing" or "jugging" permitted? YES as long as you are out there with it and can retrieve the float promptly. If you are out in a kayak/canoe/boat you could have up to two lines out. An example of something that would not be legal would be to place a float/line out in a water body, and then leave it out there (while you go home, or sit on shore with no means to retrieve the float).

Remember, you can have only two lines out (i.e., in the water) at a time. If you have two jugs out, you can't also use a fishing rod.
