Legal Flies?

Recommended Posts

A good friend of mine works at a downtown hotel bar and recently had some customers from the fly fishing convention. She was good enough to trade some free beers for some flies for my buddy and I. One fly he gave her looks like a group of eggs. He told her that before we use these we need to make sure that it is legal in our state. Since I'm new to fly fishing I don't have any idea of the legality or ethics of using such a fly.

In certain Alaskan streams when fishing for Salmon the length of the hook and the gap have to be a certain size but at least around here I haven't heard of anything.

probably just a pitch people use to sell lures. "Check to see if its legal" gives people the idea that its so good that it must be banned. Ever see the Charlie Allen "article" writing about the bass lure so good it might be banned for tournaments? Complete bunk designed to sell lures to unsuspecting fishermen.

If your fly has one hook and it is made of artificial components I don't think you have any issues, unless you are in a barbless fishing area
