From the proclamation;
Setline fishing
Utah Admin. Rule R657-13-8
Setlines are lines that are anchored to a
non-moving object and that are not attached
to a fishing pole.
Setline permits are available for $20 at
wildlife.utah.gov and from license agents and
Division offices.
A setline permit is a 365-day permit. If
you are 12 or older, you must also have an
unexpired three-day, seven-day, 365-day or
multi-year Utah fishing or combination license
in order to use a setline permit.
If you obtain a setline permit, and a Utah
fishing or combination license, you can use a
setline to take fish from the following waters:
Bear River proper (downstream from the Idaho
state line, including Cutler Reservoir and outlet
canals); Little Bear River below Valley View
Highway (SR-30); Malad River; and Utah Lake.
These are the only waters where use of a
setline is allowed.
The following rules apply to setline fishing:
•You may not fish with more than one
setline.
•A setline may not contain more than 15
hooks.
•When fishing with a setline, you must
be within 100 yards of the surface or the
bank of water you’re fishing from.
•One end of your setline must be attached
to a non-moving object that is not
attached to a fishing pole. Your setline
must also have a legible tag attached to
it that includes your name, address and
setline permit number.
•While fishing with a setline, you can also
fish with up to two fishing poles
The part that is very specific about one end of the max 15 hook set line being attached to a non movable object, (anchor?) and the other end CANNOT be attached to a fishing pole I would assume that the end not connected to a non movable object could be attached to anything, including a jug. There is also the distance stipulation that would have to be followed by remaining within 300 feet of either end of the set line at all times whether on the surface or on shore.
