I use a centerpin setup for steelhead fishing in the Great Lakes tributaries and love it. I don't want to use anything else. I was wondering if it would be legal to do so for the Atlantic salmon stockings in the fall. I know that part of the rules and regulations for fishing for broadstock salmon in the Naugatuck river state that no added weight can be added to the line and artificial lures or flies only. It is imperative to stagger split shot down a 4-6 foot shot line under the float to match the weight of your float. I then tie on a micro swivel and a 2 foot leader with no added weight onto my leader. The rule book does not state anything about centerpin angling. It is impossible to use this setup without adding weight under your float to try to accomplish a drag free drift. Anyone who knows anything about this angling method clearly knows that snagging or foul hooking fish is not the intention at all or rarely occurs. It would be a shame if I was unable to legally fish with this method. If you are unfamiliar with this method I can upload a pic of my rig so you can decide if it is legal or not. If this isn't legal then sinking fly lines shouldn't be legal either. Just my two cents. Can't wait to hear your response. Thanks again.
