Im heading up there at the end of the month and camping at the Ohanapecosh Campground, across the street from the river. This is great, except the Ohanapecosh river is a fly-fishing river and I only have spin-fishing gear. So I'm planning do drift fish or float some flies--this still counts as "fly fishing" right? I have no idea what flies to use either, so some advice to begin with would be great.
Some tricks with flies (on a spinning rod) would be awesome too

Thanks!

Hey Schooler. If it's fly fishing only it means with a fly rod only. If you happen to take one with you then try caddis, stimulators, or maybe an ant pattern. Good luck up there.

What if he were to make a few back casts with the spinning rod? Come on, you know we've all been there and done that little stunt .

That's true in Oregon. I don't remember off the top of my head for Washington but I think they might have a different definition of "fly angling only". Unfortunately I can't access the WA regs PDF right now to check. I'm pretty sure they had a different definition, but it's been a few years.

Just read the Washington regs, it's only handi-capped fishermen that can fish with spin-gear.
Thanks for the clear-up/input!
