You're fine as long as you're not using two at once. If you have two lines in the water at the same time you need a 2 pole permit.

[cool][#0000ff]Wow! This board is going to the rats...Ranger and River. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Ranger_rat has it right. The law specifies that you can only USE one rod at a time, if you do not have the two pole permit. Simply carrying an arsenal of sticks does not make you a violator.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]"Floating radio tower"? Man, don'tcha know that you can never be too rich, too thin or have too many rods?[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Typically, when tubing in waters that allow two rods (with permit), I will drag around a minnow or cut bait on one rod, while casting lures with the other. On a slow day, I may put out two different baits and take a snooze while holding the lines from each rod in my fingers. [/#0000ff]

[cool][#0000ff]Basically any waters that are not considered to be a managed trout fishery. These include Pineview, Willard, Utah Lake, Yuba Reservoir and a few others. Check the proclamation. They are listed there.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As a simple guideline, think any water that has catfish, walleye and/or bass. Most of these waters have a few trout too, but they are not stocked or monitored.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Definite no-nos are Jordanelle, Strawberry, East Canyon, Lost Creek, Causey, Bear Lake, Da Gorge, Fish Lake, etc. Heard tell of a "CIA" CO on Strawberry a couple of weeks ago that was sneaking up on closed ice shanties and pulling surprise inspections for two pole fishermen. Probably got a few too.[/#0000ff]

1) A person may use a second pole to take fish only in the following waters:
(a) Bear River from the Idaho state line downstream, including Cutler Reservoir and
the outlet canals;
(b) D.M.A.D.;
© Flaming Gorge Reservoir;
(d) Gunlock Reservoir;
(e) Gunnison Bend;
(f) Hyrum Reservoir;
(g) Lake Powell;
(h) Little Bear River below Valley View Highway (SR-30);
(i) Malad River;
(j) Newton Reservoir;
(k) Pelican Lake;
(l) Pineview Reservoir;
(m) Starvation Reservoir;
(n) Utah Lake;
(o) Willard Bay Reservoir; and
(p) Yuba Reservoir.
I'll probably get banned for correcting TubeDude, but Flaming Gorge is on the list.

[cool][#0000ff]Thanks for the correction. I was hoping someone had faster access to the REAL info than I did.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I always heard that when you shoot from the hip, you run the risk of shooting yourself in the (behind).[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Flaming gorge has cats and bass...so why not. Also has burbot now, so lets all use our two pole permits to get a limit of 25 burbot.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]No worries, mate. Still waiting for my new version of Banware. You're safe...for now. Anyways, I always heard it said that even if you are perfect it is good to make a mistake on purpose once in awhile, just to show mere mortals that you are an okay guy. I do that a lot.[/#0000ff]

] But seriously, you guys that look like a floating radio tower on the water, do you have to have two pole permits for that or can you take more gear with you than you actually fish with? Should I just go get the two pole permit to be on the safe side? Their still only about ten bucks right??
