 I don't understand these regulations for Durham. Highlighted in red in the screenshot attached. The two seem to contradict each other - the bottom rule includes the area that the first rule refers to. Can anyone help me interpret this correctly?

Thank you very much in advance.

I'm going for Salmon fishing for the first time with a buddy of mine. I'll be using a fly rod, but my friend was told was about this rig by someone he met stream-side (or maybe the internet - can't remember), which I wanted to double-check is legal or not so don't inadvertently break any rules. I have read on a US forum that in some US states it is illegal**, so wanted to find out Ontario rules regarding this.

The rig is a really heavy weight tied at the terminal end with multiple short tags tied above that with roe eggs. The idea is to drop the weight in a pool with Salmon and let it anchor, and then let the tag ends flutter in the water in front of the fish to entice them.

Also to extend that question to the fly rod, dead-drifting with split-shot at the terminal end (instead of a fly riding at the bottom / to prevent snagging bottom) and 2 egg-fly patterns above that - is that okay?

(** The reason why its illegal in US states as some gentleman explained to me in the forum is that snaggers and flossers use rigs with weight at the bottom, so they have barred weight at the bottom completely)
