Default Is it still fly fishing if you use live bait?

LOL. Well, I can honestly say I have never put a bobber on my fly line.
So there! LOL.

Although I have used a 9'+ fly rod with a spinning reel to serve up
minnows to baulky bass, and I didn't use a bobber. LOL.


Well, I have to say that I agree with Ken on this one. Fly fishing is
using a fly, constructed of hair, feathers, maybe some foam rubber and
thread, delivered by the line casting the lightweight "lure". With fly
fishing, you're trying to fool a gamefish with an imitation.

Using live bait, regardless of what rod/reel combination, is livebait
fishing. Sure, it's fun and still a challenge, but it's not fly-fishing!

But there are plastic flys. Mini-hoppers, etc.
