It would be illegal in a fly only zone. The ruling would be for one single point hook. Cut one hook at the bend and it would be legal.

Where in the regs do you see that it would be illegal in the fly only zone. The rule does not call for one single point hook or one single fly, most seem to think that droppers are legal in Fly Only Zones. It simply states that the hook must be single point, no doubles or trebles. If you wanted to stretch the limits of the law, you could glue 3 flies together in a treble hook configuration and meet the regs.

(D) Fly—An artificial lure constructed on

a single-point hook, using any material

except soft plastic bait and natural and scented

bait as defined in (A) or (B) above, that is

tied, glued or otherwise permanently

attached.

(A) Natural and scented baits—A natural

fish food such as bait fish, crayfish, frogs

permitted as bait, grubs, insects, larvae,

worms, salmon eggs, cheese, corn and other

food substances not containing any ingredient

to stupefy, injure or kill fish. Does not

include flies or artificial lures. Includes

dough bait, putty or paste-type bait, any substance

designed to attract fish by taste or

smell and any fly, lure or bait containing or

used with such substances.

(B) Soft plastic bait (unscented)—Synthetic

eggs, synthetic worms, synthetic grubs and

soft plastic lures.

Don't get me wrong, I read it the same way as you do and the Synthetic Legs are not allowed either. All how the agent perceives the law book. I could tye a jig with Sili Legs as a skirt and it would meet the spec.

I am interpreting it to be one hook. "constructed on ""a"" single point hook" . Who knows for sure how they will interpret? They won't allow me to pour scent on my fly and use it in zones 1 & 2, but then they also say that would be illegal in zone 3 where scents and baits are allowed to be used otherwise. Until this recent ruling, thats what we did for years in zone 3. The old ruling was that if it was illegal in 1 & 2, then it was legal in 3. As far as synthetic legs, like I said in an earlier post, soft plastic, silicone, and rubber are one and the same. You should try that jig with sili legs.
