On Henry's there isn't much of a water column to cover where most people fish. I usually fish 2 rods up there. Jig with one and do a dead stick on a jawjacker. Some days they like one and not the other.
Personally I think that items like a jawjacker add a larger advantage than a few extra rods ever will. That may be something to address is only allowing so many of them ect. You will miss fish on those extra rods that are dead sticked, but if they are all on a Jacker you will hook up almost every time.
Lots of things to look at there. Cutting the pole limit down so people cant have mechanical aids ect.
End of the day it seems there are a lot more contributing factors to what is going on than just the ice fishing.
More fish that are naturally reproducing, something causing a drop in scuds, and this winter most likely some winter kill could change things even more.
