Is it legal to use set line's for ling in this state?  We used to use them all the time back home in Montana.  First you gotta know also how many hooks you can have off a set line if it is legal to use a set line.  It's pretty damn simple really.

Im not sure if it is still legal.  I know it used to be.  If it is, there is a 5 hook limit but check the regs.

Set lines went away with the 07/08 season regs.

In the 2009 2010 regs it says nothing about not being able to use set line for burbot like it has in the past.  Could be wrong but did not see anything about it. Just want to make sure i am not doing anything illegal.

Just called WDFW on page 30 it says hook and line only statewide. So I am wrong and you cannot use set line. Like all of our states regs they do not make it easy to find.
