The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

that at the time these regs were written, most people took it for granted that this meant "fly fishing". I know the North Fork Tule has had these restrictions since at least the mid-70s (I grew up in Porterville and the Tule is my (original) home water.

But you are right, Charlie, nothing I see in the regs prevents someone from using spin gear with a fly. Of course, if you ever seen the N Fork Tule, you know that the water is so small that the bubble-fly method really would't work there.
