Do I have to use a fly rod to fly fish the Metolius?

[Hawk]

I'm heading to central Oregon for a few days of fishing, and will be on the Metolius for part of that.

I know the Metolius is fly-only down to Bridge 99, but do I have to use a fly pole, or can I attach a fly to my spinning rod to fish the upper river?

Traditional fly gear only, last I heard.

per the regs

Fly Angling Angling with a fly rod, fly reel, (no spinning or fixed spool reel(s)), floating or sinking fly line, leader, any type of
backing line, and an artificial fly. In waters restricted to “Fly Angling Only” no additional weights or attractors shall
be attached to the hook, leader, or line, and no metal core lines may be used.

Thanks for clarifying that!
