Two Pole license question

Utah Fishing Reports & Discussion Utah Fishing General
1

I heard a rumor that DWR passed this thing at a recent RAC meeting, and I tried to find this information on the DWR site and there was none…

Is it true that 2 pole licenses are honored at all Utah waters? When does this go into effect?

Thanks for helping me get updated!

I am excited about this change, and have always wanted to use two poles at Deer Creek (this saturday hopefully…)

I heard it got passed too. Not really sure when it goes into affect, jan 2007 perhaps?

3

Right. I heard Jan 1 too.

Goes into effect on January 1, 2007. One must also purchase a second pole permit.

Paul here is a link to the UDWR website where the 2007 changes are noted:

And the second pole permit will also be a 365 day deal.

The new rules go into effect Jan 1 2007 as has already been posted but I have a question about kids. Will kids under 12 have to buy a second pole permit or will they just need to be with someone who has one? Wish I would have thought of the question at the RAC meeting but not that quick I guess.

It’s not likely they will let kids fish with a second pole without buying the two pole permit, it’s all about the money but I don’t know that for sure. WH2

I had looked on the DWR web sight and found nothing also. But with your link, Bingo. Thanks a lot brother.

[;)]The two poll permit goes into effect JAn 01, I also talked to the ranger at willard and most lakes in Utah at this time and always did allow two polls as long as you had the $15.00 two poll permit along with your 1st permit, I have fished with a two poll permit for quite some time, there is only a few lakes or res that at this time do not allow (rock port does not allow, But wilard, berry, east canyon does) it but most do at this time also.

Um, I don’t think Strawberry or East Canyon do at this time. Better double check the proc.

“I have fished with a two poll permit for quite some time, there is only a few lakes or res that at this time do not allow (rock port does not allow, But wilard, berry, east canyon does) it but most do at this time also.”

FisnNCoach, you better get aquainted with the current Fishing Proclamation (see page 7) – Strawberry and East Canyon do not allow a Second Pole. A more correct statement is, until January 1, 2007 there are only a few lakes or reservoirs that do allow a Second Pole.
