Spinning Rod & Flies ?
 

Hi,

Won't be able to get out for a few weeks yet, but was thinking a bit ahead.

I may do some early fishing from a rowboat, and, frankly, have never
liked using a flyrod off the boat. Always results in rod dings no
matter how careful I am.

So, have mainly use a spinning rod and the typical spinning lures from
the boat, and the flyrods from shore.

Question: how would one rig a spinning setup to be able to cast, e.g.,
size 6 or so, flies with a spinning rod ?

A small weight a bit up from the fly, or a dropper with a weight, or ...?

Practical at all, or, forget it, and just crank out the flyrod again ?

Thanks,
Bob

Re spinning rod
The only times that I have done that was to add a piece of fly line
to the end if your spinning reel - to the monofilament w or w/o weight
and cast as best as you can - It is very clumsy
But
Why don't you try roll casting from the boat and you do not have to
take the fly out of the water?

Bob, go to Natick Outdoors and ask them for a spinning bubble. (Call
first.) There is a bubble thingie that can be partially filled with
water (weight) and tied to the spinning line. This is the weight that
makes the cast possible. You can tie whatever kind of fly to the line
coming off the bubble. I've seen folks drifting dries with such a set
up. Don't know how successful they were, but the lures they used were
technically a fly. This set-up would NOT be legal in fly-fishing-only
water.

If I were you I would stick with the fly rod, or go conventional
spinning lures. Just a thought.

Hope you are well.

I have heard on good authority that Jesus Himself fishes nightcrawlers
during Spring rains, but He does it with a FLYROD.

When my granddaughters (ages 3 & 5) were visiting last summer I rigged
them up with Barbie rods with closed face spinning reels and a bubble
( like Dave describes). About 18" below the bubble, I tied on size 16
bead head nymphs (GRHE & PT). Using that set up,each of them caught
more trout than the ten or so (mostly adults) other fisher people
combined at the pay to fish pond I took them to. So yes usng a fly
with spinning rod can be very effective.

In Oregon, there's a distinction between fly-fishing-only waters, where
such a rig would be illegal and fly-only waters (amazingly including the
North Umpqua), where folks do use them.

Yeah, I've run into that sitution, but can't remember where. I told
one guy in Maine that fishing flies with a spinning outfit was illegal.
His "fly" had feathers, a spinner, and some weight. He claimed it was
a "fly". He left after a couple of more guys told him to leave.
Apparently I wasn't threatening enough! d;o(

It can also be highly legal. Despite what you've been told here thus
far, there are many places where such a rig qualifies as "fly
fishing" Not EVERY place, by any means, but many.

Check local regulations wherever you plan to use such equipment and
tactics.

When we give out flies at tying demonstrations, that's the rig we
recommend. Most of the bubbles are clear with rubber tube inside.

Yes. *Time spent on roff is a jolly time.

Wolfgang is a rather comical figure, in an unintentional way, once you
get over the initial revulsion. I just wish he'd stop emulating
himself for a while and get some new material.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Ah, but you're broken, Wolfgang. You're hate has overcome you. Hate
will consume you like a fire. Perhaps some day you will self immolate.

A lesson which will never benefit either of you hopeless buffoons.

No lessons to learn from you, Wolfgang. This is a fly fishing forum.
You couldn't teach RW or *anyone* something about fly fishing

tell 'em what your going to do to them......then do it.....and then
tell them what's been done to them. they still won't get it.....but
that's the point.....ainna? :)

Oh, you must mean your usual reply to just about everyone: idiot,
moron, gretin, pig. Yeah, that's a really intelligent conversation ya
got there, Wolfgang.

Not that I've noticed. Oh, to be sure, there are parts that are bent,
bruised, strained, sprained, abraded, contused, or otherwise
misaligned to one degree or another.....but, having experienced
"broken" a time or two, I'm happy to report that all systems are

Perhaps.

Well, that's a matter of definition.

far, there are many places where such a rig qualifies as "fly

Check local regulations wherever you plan to use such equipment and
tactics.

I know where he lives and such a rig is not considered "fly fishing.

The same is true for the state of Maine.

I didn't teach you anything about fly fishing while you were in Maine.

Wolfgang seldom gives fishing advice in this nuthouse. He is far more
content with acting like a spoiled little brat and calling people (not
only me) names. When folks *do* give fishing advice, he ridicules and
calls them names. When people disagree with him, he reacts the same
way. Does that remind you of
someone-who-should-not-be-mentioned-by-name? I know you are very good
friends with Wolfgang, but his behavior on this forum is deplorable. I
know, I know, I add to it, but I'm a much better man when the mouse
that roars is in his little hole.

People like Tom Littleton, RW, Fred, Larry and others ADD to this forum
and should not be attacked by Wolfgang simply because he feels superior
to them.

Well, I recall teaching you something about flies.....so numerous they
did swarm. But any fool bereft of sauna for a few days in the western
UP in June could have done that. And I also remember your first
encounter with a smallish fowl, known locally as the "hex", when it
nearly took your ear off on its errant entry into camp one evening.
But that was none of my doing. Mosquitos, at their most benign, you
have also encountered here in Curdistan. But you've seen those
before. About all I have left to show you along these lines is
blackflies and deerflies at their maleficent peaks. I harbor no doubt
that your thanks will be tepid at best.

As for fly "fishing", I distinctly remember that on the occasion when
we first fished together your efforts to get a fly on the water
succeeded vastly more often than not, and that you frequently brought
it back with a fish attached. Furthermore, you always managed to get
to the water and, more importantly, back to the beer truck, before
anyone else. I had nothing substantive to teach you.

You say "miserable jerk" like it's a bad thing. If I'm miserable,
well, that's because I love company. And a jerk is simply something
at either end of a fly line. As for being "the biggest fool on
usenet," I plead guilty. I keep on hoping it will one day be overrun
by adults.....I just can't help it. Aside from that, though, things
don't really look all that bad here on my level. I get to see all
manner of strange and wondrous things.

It is disgusting *& deplorable & almost unbelievable bur certainly NOT

The easy route would be to suppose that you have extraordinarily low
threshholds for disgust, deplorability and unbelievability, as well as
an untenably high standard of humor. But you've been here for a
while. We can't maintain that sort of delusion. Radical brain damage
of some sort or another is the only viable theory.

Having never had the misfortune to meet him
I know some of you do like him

Oddly enough, some of them like me whether or not you and I have ever
met. Strange world, ainna?

Why?

Because I'm considerate, cheerful, helpful, brave, clean, honest,
funny, knowledgeable, modest, unassuming, empathetic, bright,
interested, ruggedly handsome.....and I've got a dick the size of an
eight year old.

Some of you cinsider him a friend

Ah, THAT'S what's got your panties in a bunch? The answer is
simple.....I AM a friend.

Not that' it's a reciprocal arrangement or anything. I mean, did
ANYBODY call and say "Happy Birthday" last month?

No.

Did ANYONE drop a quick e-mail to say "sorry to hear that you've got
the worst cold in human history at ANY time in the past three weeks?

No.

Has ANYONE EVER! bothered to say, "hey, i understand that it really
sucks that you were born black, female, crippled, poor, blind, and
prenatally addicted to heroin, methamphetamines, marijuana, and
Twinkies.....but hey, look on the bright side.....you've got a dick
the size of an eight year old!"

No.

What is his f'ing problem?

Personally, I think it's the Twinkies. Well, not so much the Twinkies
qua Twinkies.......I'm thinking about giving up the deep fried
variety.

If some of you really are his friends

Um.....didn't we just go over all that?

- * ask or help him to get a life

Had one of those. ****in' nuisance, if you ask me. All that
ingestion, inhalation, exhalation, excretion, matabolism, congestion,
cohabitation, perspiration, lactation, cogitation, prestidigitation,
relaxation, degradation, palpitation, regurgitation, inflammation,
exclamation, ratiocination, debilitation, habituation, reification,
deliberation, extrication, mastication, ovation, oblation, probation,
precognition, derision, revision, incision, division, multiplication,
addition, subtraction, detraction, traction, action, impaction,
infarction, infraction, retroaction, cognition, ignition, friction,
diction, redaction, compaction.....and complication! ****, who needs
all that.....especially when you've got a dick the size of an eight
year old?.

Go fishing , fornicating , drinking whatever *just not pesting

Good advice. I hope they will heed it.....but I wouldn't hold my
breath.

Um.....just to be perfectly clear....."I" wouldn't hold "my" breath.
But I think it would be a good idea for you.....just for a week or
two.

I am certain ROFF has lost some valuable people due to his caustic
