Is this a new rule 2024

Leader Length Restriction (T14 CCR
§2.05)
It shall be unlawful to use any configuration of fishing tackle in anadromous waters unless the distance between the terminal hook or terminal lure and any weight attached to the line or leader, whether fixed or sliding, is less than six feet. For pur- poses of this section, “weight” includes any product used to submerge the line or leader, including non-buoyant artificial flies or artificial lures, but does not include integrated or sink- ing fly fishing lines, lead core lines used while trolling from a boat, dropper weights used while trolling from a boat, or clipped weights used with downrigger systems.

No weighted flys on anadromous rivers? 6 feet hook to weights/split shot?

[Sonoman]

As I read it, it looks fine...a fly with split shot 15" above it fits this description...

..."UNLESS the DISTANCE BETWEEN the terminal HOOK or terminal lure AND ANY WEIGHT attached to the line or leader, whether fixed or sliding, is LESS than six feet."

My long-time friend, Roger Bloom, retired from the DF&W and works part-time at Fly Fishing Specialties now.

He was way up in the DF&W and would know all about this new law.

Sonoman pointed it out right. I read it wrong.

Pretty sure this was written to address the flossing game?
