Re: articulated flies in multiple fly, catch and release areas?

That regulation is all about treble hooks, but I would think that a fly with more than one hook would be seen as similar.

Re: green drake emerger pattern

On the local river the green drakes hatch at the same time as what we call the alder fly (zebra caddis), a very prolific hatch.
