you will get 2 different answers from 2 different officers, i did, although i was not fishing in the open water at the time. swan lake has aerators and i see guys fishing in the open water with 2 lines because they figure they are still ice fishing because they are standing on ice, officer disagreed with them... so a month later i was fishing off shore because the ice had melted back enough and asked a different officer if a guy could use 2 rods if i was standing on the ice and he said hed be ok with it as there was still ice on the lake(ice was a little thin for my liking) but it was a gray area and another officer might disagree, im assuming it depended on what side of the bed he woke up on that day. im not about to test it out
