I go fishing down by Milner and I want to know how many hooks I can put on my line. I'm fishing for catfish.
Answer:
In Idaho, you are allowed up to 5 hooks per line, except where specifically prohibited (Page 44 of the 2011-2012 fishing rules: definition of hook). A hook is defineds as "a bent wire device, for the catching of fish, to which one, two, or three points may be attached to a single shank. What this means is that a treble hook is still considered one hook because it has a single shank - or point of attachment. If you have a two pole stamp, you may fish 5 hooks on each line AND if you are ice fishing, you may have 5 hooks on up to 5 fishing lines.
