Nope, I throw at them 3/4 ounce spoon or 1 ounce buzzbomb attached with with 2.5” hoochie, they bite anything in front of them……salmon and trout can take on smaller fish 1/3 of their body length

Sorry for digressing but on the topic of limited entry fishing for certain streams, does anyone know why is not that common the "Fly Fishing only" rules? I find it works really well on busy island rivers like the Campbell River on pink season, where you have most of the gear and float fisherman below the confluence and upstream in the Fly Fishing only section is quieter. Wonder how would that pan out on certain busy LM rivers

went out for an hour and half, completely decimated by a girl in swimsuit who couldn’t even cast more than 30ft with probably a walmart rod…she was standing where the water was up to her chest and getting hookups for every 3 or 5 cast and landed 3…meanwhile I lost 5 and snagged one…looking down at my $3000+ rods and reels I was like wtf am i doing here… and quietly packed up…end of fraser pink for me

Ive seen many people around me hooking into pinks, while im just casting around  Thought it was my lure selection, or it truly is a luck based fishery.

old fashioned bags for potatoes.

Are they special in any way, or is it because potato bags are cool

there were more FF only waters some years back but these were deleted partly to simplify the regs, equalize access and because some of those waters didn't attract much attention from Fly anglers, possibly because they weren't that carefully selected.

FF only always do attract the ire of some organized user groups so in most cases either artificial lures only regs or artificial fly only (which allows yarns ties) seem to be preferred.
