I learned to use a fly rod (how well is certainly up for debate) when I was 12. I'm 60 now. You would think that I might have encountered the answer to my question before now, but I've lived in Texas all my life, and never even fished for trout until a few years ago (hatchery fish only).
I'm going to Yellowstone NP in late June. I noticed that only barbless hooks are allowed in the park. Can I smash the barb on existing flies or do I have to purchase flies with barbless hooks?
Thanks
