Salmon River Regulation Changes

Ahhh, the Staircase pool beckons, but first a word from the NYDEC...


The following prohibitions go into effect October 1, 2008 on the Salmon River in NY.

(4) use a weighted fly with more than a one-eighth ounce added weight;
(5) add weight to the line, leader, swivels or artificial fly in any manner such that the weight hangs lower than the attached fly when the line or leader is suspended vertically from the rod;
(6) use less than 20 feet of floating, sinking, or combination floating/sinking flyline, or shooting head immediately behind the leader and in front of any running line or other backing;
(7) use supplemental weight such that the weight is the primary means of propelling the cast rather than the fly line or shooting head;

Doesn't look like anything the Minions need to worry about other than the 1/8th ounce added weight limitation.

October 16th - 18th is coming soon!!!
