On June 23, the MDWFP instituted new regulations regarding yo-yo mechanisms used for fishing.
Anglers fishing with yo-yos are required to attend these fishing devices at all times. Attend means that the anglers must remain in sight of the yo-yos if the gears are set and baited or set and tripped. Anglers will be allowed to leave their yo-yos unattended between 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., but those yo-yos must be tripped with the hook out of the water during this two-hour time period. MDWFP officers have the authority to seize or confiscate unattended un-tripped yo-yos during this two-hour period and unattended yo-yos other times of the day.
