SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- For an extra fee, Utah anglers can tell a story about another one that got away.
The state is allowing people to use two fishing poles in waters across the state, a significant change from 2006.
"When fishing is a little bit slow, it gives you twice the chance to catch a fish," said Craig Schaugaard, an aquatics manager at Division of Wildlife Resources.
For example, he said, there are crappie and perch in Pineview Reservoir in Davis County, but they typically swim at different depths.
The two-pole fee is $15 in addition to the regular fishing license. In the past, two-pole fishing was limited to a few locations that had warm-water fish.
Schaugaard is warning anglers to be aware of catch limits, especially if they're one away and they hook two at the same time.
