qc/mnr reg for fly fishing

Fly fishing areas

Some bodies of water, generally located in zecs, are reserved for fly fishing. These bodies of water are identified as such at the registration post or near the fishing site. In these cases, when fly fishing, you must abide by the following rules:

* fly fishing must be practiced by means of an unweighted fly line, mounted on a rod designed specifically for that type of fishing and to which a maximum of two artificial flies are attached. The two hooks combined can have a total of three points (see Weighted down line);
* the artificial fly may be composed of a combination of hooks that must take into account the maximum authorized size of the hooks illustrated below; such a fly must never have more than three points;
* the artificial fly must not be attached to a weighted core line (see Weighted core line);
* flies may have attachments made of silk, metal wire, wool, fabric, fur, feathers or other similar materials. Brass, copper, aluminum or plastic tubes may be part of the fly, as well as a straight pin. Waddington shafts are authorized. Metal heads and eyes are forbidden;
* flies must not have spinning or waving parts or be equipped with weights to facilitate sinking;
* flies must not be baited, unless otherwise indicated in this publication;
* the possession of any other fishing tackle is strictly forbidden on a body of water reserved for fly fishing or within 100 m of such a body of water, except:
o when such tackle is found in a vehicle (except a boat) or a building;
o when a person is only crossing or walking alongside waters reserved for fly fishing in order to fish in other waters where the use of that tackle is permitted. In this case, when the forbidden tackle is a hook other than an artificial fly, the latter must not be attached to the line and if this person is also in possession of a rod, it must be rendered inoperative in one of the following ways:
+ disassembled in sections;
+ assembled without a reel being attached to it;
+ stored in a closed case.

These conditions also apply in salmon rivers in fly fishing areas. In such areas, during a salmon fishing period, a single fly totaling a maximum of two points must be used when fishing for any species. Outside this period, up to two artificial flies totaling a maximum of three points may be used if fishing is authorized for species other than salmon.

The following table summarizes the information concerning the maximum number of authorized hooks and points:

The fact they look so good is usually a testament to the tyer..... :D

You will never cast that popper with spinning gear. Unless you add weight which then defeats the whole purpose of the popper. Big foam flies are as weightless as they get and some of them are hard to cast because of their wind resistance.

Once reason why so many salmon flies use a heavy double barbed hook is the second hook adds weight that can't be added with a bead head/dumbell eyes/weighted wire/sinking line/etc.
