Do you have to have a two pole permit to fish with more then one pole when ice fishing in utah? I know in wyoming and idaho u can have five or six poles without a permit on most reservoirs ---

Also remember the 2 pole permit is only for 2 poles. I have been told you can fish with up to 5 at the gorge though so ppl can use tip ups, but I am not for sure on that. ---

I have heard that when fishing at the Gorge for Burbot that one person can use 1 rod or 2 with a 2 pole license and up to 5 tip ups. Someone can correct me if I am wrong! ---
