Default Help with nymph fishing

Charlie Choc:


So fishing with a fly on a spinning outfit is 'fly fishing' in those
places.


Every place I have seen both fly fishermen and spinners fish artificials has
been marked "Artificial Lure Only", and that includes the Big Horn. Maine
never allowed any weight to be added to the fly or to the line/leaders for this
very reason. Spin fishers would put on a weighted streamer and cast away.
Then they allowed weight to be added to the fly and leader, but described fly
fishing as using a fly rod and reel with fly line and leader. As far as I
know, I have never fished "fly fishing only" waters where spin fishers were
allowed.
