The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

The biggest problem I see with the concept of fly fishing only would be the legislature coming up with a definition of "fly fishing equipment" that the courts would enforce. As an example is a 9 foot spinning rod that has a fly reel attached considered fly gear? Another is a fly rod that has a spinning rear attached considered fly fishing equipment? Then there is the line question? The problem is definition of a fly rod,reel, and line and what constitutes the make up of each. It is much easier from and enforcement prespective to enforce terminal tackle restrictions. It would seem evident to us that are invovled but you put this concept before a court and I think the result will be not as expected.
