I figured it was appropriate to cite the law, rather than claim it exists...

"artificial fly means a fly which is constructed by common methods known as fly tying, including a dry fly, wet fly, and nymph, which is free of bait as defined below. Materials and chemicals designed and produced primarily to cause flies to float or sink may be used on artificial flies.


artificial fly (unweighted) means a fly which weighs less than one-fourth ounce in its entirety.


artificial lure means a lure that is manmade, free of bait as defined below, and is used to attract fish for the purpose of taking them, and includes artificial flies.
