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?
