[quote flygoddess]You can do the Umbrella, but only two lures can have hooks. Two Lures or Flies. Each Lure or Fly can consist of multi hooks. Bait fishing is pretty cut and dry[
]
Add to that, the Rapala with say "5" hooks and those 5 are trebble...that is like 15 points in one LURE.
I have some flies that have three hooks (single hooks, not a treble)[/quote]
I always get fuzzy on this one. So a rapala type stick bait that has three treble hooks is considered a single "hook", same as a fly with a stinger.
But an umbrella rig - only two branchs (if you will) can have hooks? You can have more branches, but only carry spinners, or hookless attractors (been meaning to dabble into that - Crappie Jigging!)
OR could you say the Umbrella rig itself was like a fly with a stinger, and therefore you could have TWO umbrella rigs of multi hooks out at a time? (uh, . . . yeah/no!)[crazy]
So where is the line drawn? I'd don't know if they're even legal in Utah - but they sell 'em - Sabiki rigs - made with real fish skin, and they come in a stringer of like 6 teensy hooks on one rig. So does it still count as one? (I've nipped off a pair, and they've done well. Doubles even... in Idaho)
LB - The youtube suggestion is great. SO many "how to" vids out there. Learned a lot about fly-tying... also you might hit Amazon - and look up some basic books about fly fishing. They'll go through the gear, the knots, the flies, the waters, and of course - the fish. I'd picked up a few, and when I started fiddling with tying - I got some books on flies, so I had examples to draw from.
Used books are awesome. Spend more shipping the suckers... if you want titles - I can share what I got. Sure others might have better..
