Is this legal in NH?
I suspect it's controlled by open water restrictions- dates and bag limits? ie: rule 5 page 10; Salmonid waters closed to fishing Oct 1-Dec 31? And since you'd be in a boat, 2 lines / person?

I'm not sure what the question is unless your question is on the subject line.
You can not use tip ups in open water...they are only allowed through the ice. Not sure how you would use them anyway unless they were on some kind of floating platform? As far as # of lines that you can use I believe it is going to remain as two allowed...
but it may be changing to 1 for trolling in Lake Trout Lakes...there is a current proposal to make it that way. Sincerely,
Lt. Robert Bryant

Sorry, I thought I sent a link to a YOUtube video of using foam pipe insulation on the crossbars of a tipup to float it. It sounds like a set line, but it would be within sight and attention if you were in a boat nearby
