How many lines are you guys allowed in the water in each of your respective states/provinces during Ice Fishing season? In another thread a poster mentioned "only 12 traps in" before they couldn't keep up so I am kinda curious.

Too add, we're allowed 2 lines in the winter. Only one eh TGF? Didn't you used to live where I am?

15?? holy heck that's not recreational fishing, that's commercial fishing...lol.

Nope, just a BC and Ontario lad. Yep only one...no tip ups unless you want to use that as your one line.

N.S .CA

one line with up to three hooks

2 lines here

in PA you can only use 2 lines when you are fishing open water. if you are ice fishing you can use 5 lines which can be any combination of handlines, rods, and tip-ups.

edfalc · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 05, 2010, 07:59 PM »

Inland- 2 rods/tipups combined.

Boundary rivers- 2 rods and 3 tip-ups.

Idahogator · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 05, 2010, 09:23 PM »

Idaho (ice)
   Five lines with no more than five hooks each and no live bait or shrimp.

  This is in favor of the fish - more chance of hooking the ice and resulting in words that turn the air blue.

slipperybob · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 05, 2010, 10:29 PM »

MN = ice 2 lines (rod/tip ups), one hook/lure only per line.
but up to three artificial flies per line for trout or panfish.

marcus · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 05, 2010, 10:34 PM »

here we can have five "tip-ups" and 2 jigging rods.

Svengalli · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 05, 2010, 10:43 PM »

Interesting, quite alot of variance amongst the states. A conversation b/w the various departments in charge of the regulations for each state would be interesting in regards to the different theologies, stocking initiatives, long term vision etc.

Can someone tell me why Champlain has such a significant increase over the reminader of the state of New York? 15 tip ups is quite a lot.

WhiteSquall · « **Reply #29 on:** Mar 06, 2010, 12:59 AM »

Maine is 5 hand lines and tip ups combined
