Two-pole permit, Free Fishing Day, and other sundry questions

[PrinceFisher]

I'm being a little lazy here. I could go to the proclamation and find out this information, but I'd rather ask my friends at BFT:

Once I purchase a two-pole permit, on which waters can I use two fishing rods at the same time? Also, I know there's a fee for the permit, so how much is it?

Also, is anyone going fishing this weekend during Free Fishing Day? I'm still trying to decide if it would be worth it to fight the crowds. I guess I could take the aluminum 14-footer out and maybe get away from the shoreline masses.

Any BFTers getting together this weekend, or is everyone self-relegating himself to yardwork to avoid the mass fishing melee?

And because I'm being even lazier, I'm going to tell you there are several bodies of water inwitch a person can put his or her second pole permit to use, but, your going to have to look em up for yourself. []

$15.00

I highly doubt I'll waste a weekend doing yard work. Infact, I promise you I wont waste my weekend doing yard work.[]

If you check the proclamation you will be able to find out this information, but in a nutshell, a 2 pole permit costs $15, plus you must already have your regular fishing license. Using 2 poles is limited to mainly "warm-water" (i.e. non-trout waters) lakes. You can use 2 poles on the following waters:

Bear River (including Cutler reservoir and the outlet canals)
D.M.A.D.
Flaming Gorge
Gunlock Reservoir
Gunnison Bend
Hyrum Reservoir
Little Bear River (below Valley View Hwy)
Utah Lake
Lake Powell
Malad River
Newton Reservoir
Pelican Lake
Pineview
Starvation
Willard Bay
Yuba

The 2 pole permit is basically good at only some of the larger resevoirs and lakes(with some exceptions) - Utah Lake, Willard, Pineview, Starvation, DMAD, Pelican,Yuba, Gunnison, Gunlock and a few others. It's best to check the proclamation for the specific water's regulations. I am not sure of the criteria used by the DWR to determine which body of water qualifies.

Hey Fishhound, good to hear from you again. The criteria for the 2-pole permit is for water that does not have trout as the main draw.

I know you are going to bring up Yuba but the trout in there won't last very long because walleyes will be in there overpopulating, crowding out the trout. The 2-pole permit is for warm-water lakes if you will notice the lakes on the list are all warm-water habitants.

I would love to see 2-pole permit for Deer Creek but that's not allowed because of the trout's population.

A glaring question you should have asked, is the permit for 2-pole license necessary on free fishing day?

I would tend to think so... but not sure. Anybody care to answer this one?

Princefisher, I could not help but notice that you used the word sundry...

Did you know that God the Father is a true bass fisherman? Jesus Christ takes after his father as he was a true fisherman as the bible have indicated.

But what does it say about God? It says "God in sundry times and in diver manners..." Does this tell you that God loves to use crankbaits?[cool][] So all you troutskis, take notice if you wanna emulate HIM, you gotta use wally divers...

Yes, a 2-pole permit is required to use two poles even on Free Fishing day. Also, I was reading the proc. and noticed that children under 14, even though they can fish without a license anytime, if they want to use 2 poles on any of the allowed waters, they must buy BOTH a full regular fishing license AND a 2-pole permit.
