How many?

[GAMBELL]

How many tipups does your state or providence allow you to use at one time?  In NY it is five tip-ups or tip downs and 2 hand lines. 

[ejensen]

In Iowa we can use 2 tip-ups or 2 poles or 1 tip-up and 1 pole on all inland water, however on the Mississippi we can use 3 tip-ups and 2 poles at the same time!!

Direct from the Michigan DNR Fishing Guide

No more than two lines per person (including tip-ups) nor more than four hooks or lures may be used.

Tip-ups and similar devices used for ice fishing must show the angler's name and address. All lines must be under immediate control.

No leaving tip-ups on the ice over night and checking in the morning for Michiganders.

[Haywood]

any combination of 2 lines in the land of 10,000 lakes.  Or a spear and a line.

[HUNTER16]

OH 6 tip-ups and 2 poles.  Unable to change this combo.

WI 3 lines.  Could be all poles or all tip-ups or any combo of 3.

[Fish_Tko]

Indiana you are allowed 3 lines of any combination of tip-ups or fishing rods. tips can't be left unattended. No spearing allowed or holes over 12" in any shape.

Every year a thread like this leaves me nauseated. This one is no exception. Being from Canadas most westerly province BC, we are allowed ONLY ONE LINE DOWN ANY HOLE. You can put out a tip-up then thats your line so you can't have any more, no jigging hole or handline hole. The only time you are allowed 2 lines is if you are alone in a boat.
Just once I want to take my inflatable boat down to the ice and drill 2 holes on both sides of the boat and see what the game department has to say.

[BottomDweller]

do it terry, do it

[jilly_bean]

5 lines in total, so however you wanna do it, i usually set 4 tipups and jig with the other one

[jacksmelt71]

5 lines of any combination in maine. some special waters allow only 2. 2 poles in summer also.

[fishinjim]

I feel sorry for you in Canada, in Wisconsin I can have 3 lines in the water any combomation, 1 jigging, 2 tip-ups and in the soft water also 3, makes it easier to troll. Lines can not be left unattended. I also bring my kids (3 more each) and the kids friends.

[icechick]

Here in Montana it depends on which District you are in. The western and central districts are 2 lines with 2 hooks per line through the ice. One exception is the lake we normally fish is 6 lines with 2 hooks per line.

The eastern district is 6 lines w/2 hooks per line.

All of these are in any combination of tip-ups and regular ice rods as well.

[Mainehazmt]

[Kodiakman]

Right from the Nebraska Fishing Guide:

Ice-fishing: A total of five lines with
two hooks on each line are permitted
while ice fishing, unless restrictions
are listed for a specific area in the
Public Fishing Area section. Each icefishing
line must be under direct
supervision and within unaided
observation of the angler. Holes made
for ice-fishing may not exceed 10
inches in diameter on any area
controlled by the Commission.

Ma, 5 lines per person, on the ice, 2 on land or in a boat. I bring my kids so I can use 15. No just kidding they are to young to go with me. I use 5 tip-ups. I feel sorry for you guys that are only aloud 1 or 2, that stinks. You need to right a letter to your congressman or woman.(((((FLAG)))))

[BottomDweller]

having fewer allowed lined makes you that much better of a jigger.  it is where the men are separated from the boys.

i feel your pain almost the same i here in Sask. only one line in open water, shore or boat and two lines only through the ice any device but only 2 lines total

[bucketmouth]

2 lines thru the ice, any combo... 1 line per person from a boat or shore.

[WANNAKETCHUM]

Well... here in Pennsy it used to be 3 tip-ups and 2 handlines or 4 tip-ups and one hand line or 5 tip-ups but at no time were you allowed more than 2 handlines in a combination of 5 lines. Now...you are allowed 5 lines in any combination thereof...as long as they are legal devices...Tip-ups, tip-downs, slammers, arctic warriors, jigging rods, handlines, etc. as long as you use no more than 5 lines through the ice.....WK

[pikeking]

I think that on Lake Champlian you are aloud to use 15 tip-ups per guy. I may be wrong.

[GAMBELL]

You are correct.  I would love to be able to use 15 tipups at once on my favorite pike lake.

[pikeking]

You are correct.  I would love to be able to use 15 tipups at once on my favorite pike lake.

Me to, that would be like Christmas everytime I went out on the ice.

[1TIGGER]

You are correct.  I would love to be able to use 15 tipups at once on my favorite pike lake.

Holy crap could you see 15 on Conesus or Braddocks , WHAT A BLAST !

[MeadowPikeman]

if you could have 15 around here you would never get them all out, i know of a few lakes where its hard to get half a dozen out before they start going up.
