Good question. The answer is, only on specific waters can you use more than two lines while ice fishing. Several waters in Wyoming are included under the Special Winter Ice Fishing Provision, which allows for use of up to six lines by each angler while fishing through the ice. For a list of waters included under the Special Winter Ice Fishing Provision see pages 7 and 8 of the 2017 Wyoming Fishing Regulations or the list below. Keep in mind that when using more than two lines the angler’s name must be attached to each line, pole or tip-up; the angler must be within 300 yards of all lines; and angler must check their own lines. Also, remember all other fishing regulations such as creel and possession limits and bait restrictions still apply when ice fishing so be sure to check the statewide regulations and exceptions to statewide regulations for the specific water you will be fishing before heading out. Stay safe and good luck on the ice this winter.
