I for one am really looking forward to it. I use two rods whenever and wherever I legally can. A lot of waters that are allowed have multiple species of fish and you can be fishing for different species at the same time.
I'm really looking forward to ice fishing Jordanelle this year with this new rule. I can have my bigger Brown trout presentation down there while I'm having fun catching those pesky Perch!
And I'm looking forward to Strawberry also ice fishing. I'll either jig one and dead stick the other, or have two different presentations, or even hold them at different depths.
By the way, I harvested a fish from Strawberry my last time out. It was a 24"+ fish. When I got it home and cleaned it, I found a "mostly digested" 3" tube jig inside it...WITH the lead jighead still inside it! I was amazed to see that the hook part of the jighead was mostly dissolved. All that really remained of the jighead was the lead. The whole setup was "on its way out" of the fish...along with some other regular looking stuff. Even though I don't baitfish with treble hooks at Strawberry, I've still had to cut a few jigs off due to the fish swallowing it. I always wondered before what kind of chance that fish had of surviving, and now I'm a little more optimistic about the outcome of those fish that swallow the jig.

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
