question on lines

[upnorth]

I know that a person can only use one line/rod for ice fishing for stream trout on inland lakes. But can you tie two lures on one line and still be legal? I am thinking something a jig and maybe a jigging spoon?

good question, up north

Here's what I got from page 17 of the 2005 Regulations book:

Angling Methods

Anglers may use only one hook. An artificial lure is considered one hook. A treble hook, when not part of an artificial lure, is considered 3 hooks and is not legal.

The exception is three artificial flies may be used when angling for trout, crappie, sunfish, and rock bass.

Anglers may use only one line. The exceptions are: a)two lines may be used through the ice (other than on designated trout streams and lakes); and

Two lines may be used on Lake Superior more than 100 yards from the point where a tributary stream or river enters the lake.

So, according to the regulations as I read, you can't use a jig trailed by a jigging spoon because that would be two artificial lures. I do think you can use a jig with an artificial fly trailed from it, but that would be one to run by a C.O.

I hope that helps?
