The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

I think Yellow Creek is also under the same restrictions. It has been a couple of years since I fished it (which bums me out). As far as the, so far, exceedingly puerile argument about the need for exclusive fly fishing waters...I believe there is no need to exclude any type of hardware or, as implied, fishing "personality". The system in place of limiting what type of bait/lure/fly makes good sense and should be effective. I have fished a number of places where I was catching fish and the spinning rig fisher fok were not. I have seen it the other way round as well...both of these in places where there were no limits on what folks were putting on the end of the line. Particularly when live bait is not involved, it is down to the skill of the operator. And that is as it should be, regardless of the equipment itself.
