New Jersey attempts to define flyfishing in it's regulations for -FLY
FISHING AREAS- 1) Only artificial flies are allowed, which are expressly limited to dry
flies, wet flies, bucktails, nymphs and streamers. Expressly prohibited
are metal, plastic, or wooden lures, plugs, spinners, and flies with
spinners attached or any multiple-hooked device. Spinning reels or any
type of angling whereby a fly is cast directly from the reel are
expressly prohibited.

2) Possession or use of bait (live or preserved) or any substance
(natural or synthetic) that contains a concentration of bait scent is
prohibited.

3) Fishing is not permitted during the in-season stocking closures.I guess we could argue about whether or not an unscented GloBug can be
considered a "wet fly".....

BUT, AS LONG AS WE'RE BEING SILLY... Is a fly with a gold, copper or any other metalic rib a "*metal*"
lure? I guess a "brassie" or a "copper john" is out of the question.
What about the metal in a hook?

Is a fly containing mylar, synthetic fur or yarn, or any other
man-made material a "*Plastic*" lure?

Is a fly containing natural furs, feathers, or any other animal part
"*scented*"?

Is a powerful forward cast that yanks a few inches of line from the
reel "*Cast directly from the reel*"?Since a bare hook (or no hook) is not included in "-dry flies, wet
flies, bucktails, nymphs and streamers-", one can only conclude that
fishing New Jersey's fly-only waters is impossible to do legally.
