Yarn, wet flies, jigs...etc These things are not considered LURES.

I believe that almost all these fish are flossed ( by mouth or tail) and do not bite. They are scared of all the a-holes and are only interested in getting up river.

Maybe you should read the definitions

Fly A lure on which thread, feathers, hackle, or
yarn cover a minimum of half of the shank

the hook. Metallic colored tape, tinsel, mylar, or
bead eyes may be used as an integral part of
