Default 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
