Man, ya'll should go to the Game and Fish website and try and figure out if yo yo is okay in trout water. I finally gave up! Oldduckhunter you can legally have 30 yo yo and must have id on them. i.e. truck license. They can be unattended at night only. Most people spring them in the morning, and rebait just at dark. You run the string 2-3 times at night. It gets more entertaining the later it gets! Make sure that you make that last run before the pole fishermen get out at dawn. It REALLY pi--es them off if there are dead fish hanging from yo yos!
