Ban The Alabama Rig Petition

[Feathers and Fins]

Can I use this A rig at Roaring River? This would be great one cast almost a limit and with with the proper rod you cold cast way

upstream. Just think of the fun. What about Bennet Springs?

Just trying to inject humor among the stupidity.

Hmmmmm.... lower Illinois 5 scuds 5 trout real fast.... switch out from scuds to hooks troll down river for stripers.... Hmmmmmm this has merit :)

I actually thought about this last night. What whould the trout guys do if you showed up with one rigged up with five lures. It's legal, which has to make it ok, right?>

Point and laugh?

BTW, it's not all that uncommon...it's called Czech nymphing.

NOT an Alabama rig. It is a nymphing technique that utilizes heavy flies to get to the bottom and requires to angler to drift the fly at the same speed of the current rather than the current carrying the fly. Although multiple fly rigs are often used it's not on a fixed, heavy wired umbrella rig.
