Is jugline fishing, trotline fishing legal in Ontario

[moisezkj]

Can anybody tell me if jugline fishing, trotline fishing are allowed in Ontario? I saw a couple of gears selling at BassPro.

There is another product call CatOMatic-Automatic-Fishing-Reel, not sure if this is allowed in Ontario as well.

I'm not sure if it is legal but the last time I went to my favourite catfish river I found jugs set at every hole where I wanted to fish. They may be legal but who needs fish that bad.

it is illegal

page 8 of the regs

it is illegal to take fish by any means other then angling, spear, bow and arrow, net or baitfish trap


angling definition on page 7

Angling means fishing with a line that is held in the hand or attached to a rod that is held in the hand or closely attended

The jugs that I saw in the river were not attended at all ,I suspect that someone would come each morning to collect their catch and reset the jugs.

I would take em all and throw em in the garbage if I saw that.

Id take a page from the regs from above and put it into a ziplock bag and tie to the end of one of his setups.

Hi Staffman, would you mind to tell me which river is your favorite catfish river? I am living at Toronto. Thanks a bunch!
