KY fishing regulations

[fishnkamp]

Anybody know how many hooks per line Kentucky Fish and Game allows.  I am going to fish Dale Hollow for only the second time and intend on throwing an A-Rig this time.  I know the regs for TN say 3 hooks max, so I will run 3 Picasso jig heads with hooks and two with the screw locks.  Since the two states share the lake and I will be in both TN and KY waters during my stay i want to comply with both states rules.  Thanks

5 hooks in kentucky but I would just use 3 to be on the safe side.

Straight out of the KY fishing reg book pg 15

DALE HOLLOW LAKE

Anglers may use either a Tennessee

or a Kentucky sport fishing license

while fishing in the Wolf River arm of

Dale Hollow Lake. This includes the Illwill

Creek embayment beginning at a

line crossing the Wolf River at its mouth

where it joins the Obey River and the

main part of the lake.

Anglers must obey the regulations

of the state in which they are licensed.

Kentucky residents must have a Kentucky

license.

Thanks for the reply. I had read the license part online but I will be covering more water that just that one arm.  tbone1993 had my answer.  All 5 arms of a typical A-rig can havr hooks on them in Kentucky waters. Thanks tbone1993.  I want to be legal in all of the lake and not worry where I am if I am stopped on the lake either states ranger.  The easiest thing to do is setup an A-rig with three Picasso jig heads with hooks and two jig heads with the spring locks.  Now I am legal no matter where I am on the lake.  I also will purchase an out of state TN. and an out of state KY 7 day fishing license.  When I fish down around some of the islands like Goat Island, little goat island and also around Star Point it is just easier to have both because you can slip from one state to the other without noticing. Thanks again
