Catfish jug lines

It being legal to have jugs on the refuge is news to me. I have always been told that you can't even have them in possession while traveling on the refuge.

You can throw jugs in Streeter.

I found in the Louisiana regulations that: Trotlines, juglines, trammel and gill nets and traps are prohibited on the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, and Marsh Island Refuge for sure. I haven't looked in the Federal Refuge regs yet but I would be willing to bet that they are the same.

The ones who were fishing the Duck Pond with jugs a few weeks ago, think they know everything. When told that they were in violation one wanted to argue with the guy across from them, so he let them be, but they didn't get caught.

Ok found what I was looking for. Jugline fishing is allowed on Sabine but not on Lacassine.
"Fishing is permitted with rod and reel
or pole and line only on Cameron Prairie
and Lacassine NWR’s. Sabine NWR
permits jug fishing in designated areas in
addition to rod and reel and pole and line
fishing. See refuge specific regulations."

You can read all about in here. It plainly states it on the first page.

The one who were jugging in the Duck Pond can also read this, but they were told about it already
