Being first most a long rod (fly guy) I do not think this is a good idea. I love the Skagit, and would never advocate a restriction like this for a big river the size of the Skagit. And having taken up float and jig fishing this year (this is a fun way to fish) I think this would be a dumb idea. just my 2 cents, thanks.
