TROTLINES
It is illegal to (1) fish trotline or snag line within 25 feet of the bank unless end of line is tied or anchored with at least six feet of 100 percent cotton line (untreated), and (2) fish a trotline, snag line, set line, commercial fishing net, slat boxes or wire baskets within one-half mile below any lock, dam or powerhouse. Nonresidents fishing trotlines are limited to 100 hooks total.
I was surprised to read that. Been to other places where the line has to have your id, and checked daily. A few places only allow at nighttime. Our regs seem pretty slack to me.
I didn't see anything about jug fishing. But I didn't download and read the pdf's. Might be covered in them.
