Am I allowed to use two rods in the barbless section of the American River? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place of the regulation but I only see mention of barbless hook requirement.. though I remember reading that you can only use 1 rod in the barbless section a long time ago on another forum, but cant find it or anything specific.. Thanks in advance!

A Second-Rod Validation is required to fish with two rods in inland waters in any sport fishery in which the regulations of the Commission provide for the taking of fish by angling, except those waters in which only artificial lures or barbless hooks may be used.

2.00. FISHING METHODS--GENERAL.
(a) Except as otherwise authorized, all fish may be taken only by angling with one closely attended rod
and line or one hand line with not more than three hooks nor more than three artificial lures (each lure
may have three hooks attached) attached thereto. Anglers in possession of a valid two-rod stamp and
anglers under 16 years of age may use up to two rods in inland waters which regulations provide for
the taking of fish by angling, except those waters in which only artificial lures or barbless hooks may
be used
. See District Trout, Salmon and Special regulations for exceptions.
