I use a highly bouyant wake fly (on a fly line) the disturbance of a prey

The most dramatic and exciting fishing I've had with a buoyant "wake"
fly was catching big rainbows on mice on the Kisaralik in Alaska (this
summer). Standing on the bank and casting across the current, I'd make a
big upstream mend and twitch the mouse toward shore. Invariably, when
the fish hit, it would be right at the bank. On one occasion I could see
the fish follow the fly for yards. It was like they knew that they had
the mouse, but were waiting, almost sadistically, to strike at the last
moment.

I think a good spin fisherman will outfish a good fly fisherman most of the
time, and certainly have a better chance under a wider variety of
conditions.
