Jug fishing

I should know this, but what are the regulations concerning jug fishing? You know, dropping a line beneath a floating jug. I imagine they must be marked just like a foothold trap.

Thanks for the info. Since my cottage is on Atwood, that's where I'll give it a try this summer. I just thought it might be fun to try.
