Know the Law before you harass someone
I was harassed by several snaggers this past week about the use of my Flatfish lure.
From the regulations book:
g) Use or more than one hook is prohibited, except that multiple hooks attached to floating lures are permitted as noted in "special provisions for floating lures" in clause (i) of this subparagraph. (h) Use of hooks having more than one point is prohibited, except that double or treble hooks attached to floating lures are permitted as noted in "special provisions for floating lures" in clause (i) of this subparagraph. (i) Special provisions for floating lures: (1) A floating lureis a lure that floats while at rest in water regardless of any weight attached to the line, leader or lure. (2) Multiple, single, double or treble hooks are permitted on floating lures, except: (i) in tributaries within Cayuga and Oswego Counties other than the Oswego River; and (ii) from September 1st through November 30th in the Genesee River (Monroe County) from the Driving Park Bridge upstream to the Lower Falls.
(3) Any hooks on a floating lure, other than an artificial fly as defined in section 19.1(c) of this Title, must be attached thereto by a ring or swivel. (4) The distance between the body of a floating lure and the points of any attached hooks shall not exceed one and one-half inches.
