A “tip-up” is an ice fishing device with an attachedflag or signal to show fishing action, used to holdfishing line and a hook. You may fish a combinationof one tip-up and one additional line, or two tip-upsand no additional lines. You can use an additionalline or tip-up if you have a third line fishing permit.When fishing the Mississippi, Missouri and BigSioux Rivers and their connected backwaters, thefollowing regulations apply: you can use up to threetip-up fishing devices. You can use two or threehooks on the same line, but the total number ofhooks each person uses cannot exceed three. Eachtip-up fishing device must have a tag attached,plainly labeled with the owner’s name and address.You cannot use a tip-up fishing device within 300feet of a dam or spillway or in a part of the riverwhich is closed or posted against use of the device.Three tip-up fishing devices may be used in additionto two lines with no more than two hooks per line.
Correct understanding on how licenses and regulations work on the Mississippi. True for both Iowa-Wisconsin and Minnesota-Wisconsin. An Iowa license in this case allows you to fish anywhere between the railroad tracks. No need to get a Wisconsin license. But you have to follow the laws of the state in which you are fishing. So don't run more than three lines on the Wisconsin side of the river.Not sure about Iowa-Illinois, but I think it is the same.Back in the 90s Minnesota and Wisconsin anglers had to abide by their own state's regulations anywhere between the tracks on the Mississippi. What that meant was that Wisconsin residents could use three lines on the Minnesota side, and Minnesota residents could only use two lines on the Wisconsin side. You can see why that got changed.
