    the regulations state- it is illegal to fish with more than three hooks,baits,or lures. Everyone I know interpets it as 3 rods, but sometimes I think it depends on the warden.

    This is probably late but Brian, you can operate 3 hooks, which allows the possibility of 3 lines, needing the use of 3 rods. I’ve done it for years, even on the controversial border waters (because I’m a WI resident and have that priviledge). Never been a problem. However, if your fishing goes like mine did Thursday evening, you won’t have time to operate 3 lines! And btw……. a 3 trebled crankbait is considered “1 hook” in the state of WI so “3 hooks still equals 3 lines, necessitating 3 rods.

    Just tonight I was fishing the Kinni about 10:30. The Park Rangers pulled up to see what I was up too. I told them I was catfishing…They said that the odds would be more favorable if I was using three rods! I told them I was from MN and I’m only allowed two…then they went into the imaginary line down the middle of the Croix…I interupted and told them that if they were the DNR…MN, I would get a ticket…they told me to move to Cheese Country…I agreed.

    How many can you fish on the river? Does it depend on which state you are from, or doesn’t it matter?

    Most of the St. Croix River. The Mississippi river from Prescot WI to the IA border.

    Note, if you are a WI resident with a WI fishing license fishing on the WI side of the river you may fish 3 lines.

    I believe the WI/SD border waters include all of the state of MN.

    Only if you don’t get caught by some jerks up on Mille Lacs who think they have to turn you in. Let me re-phrase…any border waters MN has with SD or WI, you may use two rods.
