I have a bass boat and a fly rod and only fish for bass - granted I don't use the fly rod much but didn't think it was illegal. This time of year I use a sinking tip line and a wieghted woolly bugger on the fly rod.
Thanks for any help

1. Look at pages 18/19 and 48. There's a month long catch and release only period from mid May to mid June for bass, but you can still fish for them. I don't fish for bass myself, but isn't there some type of ethics argument regarding taking bass off their beds?
2. I agree with your statement. If you were fishing for trout/salmon in October 1) a fly rod wouldn't be the most effective piece of equipment and 2) you'd be fishing at different depths. Bottom line, if a Warden stops you and you don't have any trout/salmon on board there's no way they can accuse you of fishing for trout/salmon with your flyrod. My 2 cents...
