Jug Lines Lake Springfield

[Patrick M]

Does anyone know if you can use jug lines for catfish on lake Springfield and the river portion as well. I know the regulations from Missouri but does springfield have any rules on it?

The only legal methods for fishing in the lake is poles with attached lines(a maximum of 3), you may also use a casting net for bait fish. For additional information see
