How long has it been going?  Doesn’t say.

Seems to target jerkbait fishermen.

No clue. Just saw it.

Is this actually becoming an issue or just fly fishermen purist paranoia that the jerkers are killing all the fish?

It's a crock. Those who petitioned it 100% treat fish worse than 99% of folks who fish with a jerkbait.

I’ve caught browns that have obviously had multiple hooks in their jaw and none looked any worse for wear, so that’s what I assumed. 

I wonder what % of the petitioners own a boga? 🤔

What a bunch of whiners... likely the same ones who cry about guys using spinning gear.  I'm sure they'll be crying to ban jigs next.   Marabou kills trout dontcha know!

They have MDC's ear I understand, although I haven't talked to anyone at MDC about the subject.

It says it's only 4 hrs old (as of 7:17 pm)

I'm surprised it's taken this long. And I'm surprised the trout parks and Taney haven't turned on spin fisherman.
