With felt sole wading shoes being illegal, I wonder when the fish and game folks will start requiring the moose and bears to shave their legs before they enter a new stream or lake?LOL I guess all the water birds could have to stop at a bird wash station before changing lakes as well.
The felt sole rule is just another feel good rule for fish and game management, I would guess. But it is the rule so do follow it. I have heard it estimated that on the Kenai, on a weekend, about one out of three fisherman are fish and game employees.
I carry a pocket sized GPS with me when I get away from the main fishing areas, such as the Russian River. As mentioned above the written rules can be hard to understand. The rules may change, at the large rock 100 yards beyond the confluence of Clear Creek with Bear Creek on June 15 or if changed by emergency rule changes by the state.
On the Russian for example, only unweighted flies may be used. Any weight has to be 18 inches above the curve of the hook. This means no weighted eyes on the flies. So just read the rules, check with the stores, ask any uniformed officer you see, and hope for the best. LOL check every thing yourself, especially what you read on the forums, including this.
