Got an email from Olympia today. They pointed out to me that there Is no current definition of what a "leader" is under state law. They suggested that I come to the public meeting and suggest a definition. I continue to wonder what it is they are proposing. Seems they should be proposing a definition of leader length also.

Apparently there is a biological reason to suggest this rule, BUT how can they be attempting to address it if they don't also address the definition.

They did give a "common" definition indicating that the leader starts where the mainline ends and some other line starts. Seems to me that would preclude fly fishing and allow flossing because you could just go up the mainline x feet and put a weight on.
