Ice Fishing Device Law Clarification
« on: Jan 21, 2023, 04:11 PM »
So on a two line lake, can I have more than 2 devices with me as long as only two are in the water at once or is it only two on my person? Like can I have a tip up in the water and bring multiple jig rods with me but only use one at a time? Needs some help understanding how the law works, thanks for the help.

You shouldn't rely on the opinion of random people on the Internet, but I interpret it as two lines in the water at a time.

You can bring 100 traps with you

Only 2 total lines may be in the water though. Unless on a Cusk lake where you can also have 6 more devices

40 years of doing what i feel is right never got in trouble. Litter the ice with traps and lines. The law says 2 lines which i read as a trap and 2 jig lines in the same hole plus 2 or 3 bonus lines well beyond my spread so i can deny they are mine when i get checked. My main lines are heritage and my bonus are polars so they dont even look like mine. Epo took a few of my polars over the years becuase i wasnt gonna claim them. Gotta be smart in this difficult economy

Wow, I can't believe, well I guess it shouldn't amaze me that much, that someone would actually come on a social fishing site and admit to poaching!!!  Yep, your a fine example of a true sportsman.  It kinda makes me wonder what other laws you disregard at whim.

PLEASE don't feed the troll!  ;)

Many folks live their lives doing what they feel is right in hopes of making it to Heaven. Who says your right is wrong because it’s not their right? I mean? Am I right?

You know nobody likes you when you gotta post on a state 1k miles away and haven’t posted in your own in eons because they can’t stand you either.

My name is on my tip ups, some of the places I’ve fished required it. Never minded it. If I have to sneak around and look over my shoulder all day, cause I can’t count, no thanks.

  I complain because I am a sportsman and believe in following the rules.  I have to wonder if you and some of the others, who are not complaining, are ok with poaching, as well!  I sure am glad that there are more sportsman than poachers, if we all poached, you guys would be "compalining" about not being able to catch any fish!  Why?  Because they are all gone!

You are some kind of stupid I’ll clue ya! We don’t get that kind of special over here.

  That's the problem I have with you ASS, or should I say Flamingo, you don't care about wildlife, conservation, the environment or anything else, but yourself!  That is precisely why I have to wonder why you come onto this kind of site!  I guess you are here to make it perfectly clear what a true TROLL looks like!  Again, if you don't have anythiing pertainent to the thread to add, move on, because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one getting tired of you trying to bash me, every chance you get!  Actually I'm beginning to find it rather hilarious that you are stalking me and whenever I make a comment, you have to ridicule me by calling me stupid or some other deragatory name.  You keep saying I have nothing better to do than sit on here all day giving my opinion, instead of fishing, but yet within minutes of me saying something, you respond!  Now that is truly some funny chit.  As far as I'm concerned your a clown who comes on here for attention.  At least I come on here to give advice, talk about fishing, talk about the environment and yes give my opinion.  You on the other hand come on here to harass.  Your are the biggest, most pathetic, example of a true sportsman, environmentalist, and yes human, that I have ever had the opportunity to engage!  I bet your family really loves it when you enter the room!  I'm sure you make them proud.

My old pappy used to say, never kick a sleeping  Tiger, YOU have no idea what you are talking about,  The man you are taking  about is one of the finest examples of a sportsman, and steward  of the sport,  but he doesnt need me, or anyone that knows him to speak up for him, he  is more than. Capable. Do yourself and everyone else here a favor, just go crawl back under your rock.

Can’t fix Stupid. The reason you feel the way you do is because a true troll on here made some comments and you weren’t smart enough to realize it was Satire ;D

I actually answered the posters question perfectly, your post had nothing to do with the thread. Comprehension remember?

Nobody’s tired of me bashing your Dumbass with a Flamingo fetish no one wants you here

Funny how you’re the one coming on here to post, and always after I post? I’m not sure you know how stalking works? COMPREHENSION

I think you have me confused with the rest of the site that hates you, half those things were never said. I’m thinking there is mentally something wrong and I worry for you.

Read your last page of posts, I just did, pure comedy, everyone hates you. We all love swapping opinions, only you can’t handle a different one


Can’t be much of your family left, who’d want those genes in their pool. You all should of been swallowed or keigeled out down someone’s thigh inbred

That’s quite an assumption you’ve made Karen!!  What do you care what happens in another state?  Worry about your own state and toss your BS there, unless you live here or fish here, don’t comment on the thread.  If you don’t like what you’ve read then simply move on, go troll Fake Book there’s plenty of BS there

If he is such a great guy and sportsman, why does he continue to side with poachers, law breakers, polluters and just about everyone else that doesn't represent the outdoors?  And, why does he have this incrediable need to follow me around this site and ridicule me?  There are people on here who really like what I have to say, however, there are also a few bullies who get a kick out of calling people out of their name, stirring up trouble and making an Ass out of themselves.  I believe he has even stated that he has been givin a number of time-outs from those in charge.  That begs the question, why would such a great guy, do that?  Yeah is very small contingent of followers on here can think he's a great guy, but most of us know exactly what he is, and that's a TROLL!  Like I said, he blames me for not fishing but being on here all the time but everytime I make a comment, he responds within minutes, why?  Because he can't stand to let someone else have his opinion in anything!  Like I said, apparently a few of you think he's a great guy but there are far more on here that thinks he's an idiot!

The folks you find me “ siding “ with are not real 😂 why arent you getting this.

I’m not following you I’m on my home states page and where I fish, you are the one crossing over.

I still can’t figure out when I blamed you for not fishing and being in here all the time? Confusing me with others I guess?
