Can you troll in FFO (Fly-Fishing Only) waters?

• A. Yes, it is allowed
• B. No, it is not allowed
• C. Only with special permits
• D. Only during specific seasons

Answer: (B)

In Fly-Fishing Only (FFO) waters, the primary rule is that fishing must be conducted with fly rods and artificial flies. This regulation is designed to preserve the unique fishing experience that fly fishing provides and to protect the fish populations from overharvesting or disruption typically associated with other fishing methods. Trolling generally involves using a boat to draw bait or lures through the water at varied speeds, which is not compatible with the principles that govern FFO waters. Therefore, it is prohibited to troll in these designated areas to uphold the integrity of the fly fishing experience and the conservation efforts relevant to those waters.
