The WDFW announced yesterday that the use of weighted flies will be banned on the N. Fk. Stilly from the 20th of August through the 15th of October. The decision was made because some anglers have been targeting wild chinook salmon schooled up in a few deeper holes in the river which is at extreme low, warm levels. Sadly, most of these fish are being foul-hooked and the regulation change is to prevent subjecting them to any additional stress. C'mon guys, wise up! You all know that it's illegal to deliberately fish for salmon of any kind in the North Fork. If the harassment of chinook doesn't stop the remaining option is to close the river entirely.
