Help with nymph fishing

Why would it not work? Fly suspended on mono under a bobber. Whether
it's a plastic bubble or them fist-sized hunks o' yarn ya'll call
indicators on the Rapid--what's the difference?

Because it's not fly fishing. Fly fishing in the regs of most states I've
fished (where it says "Fly fishing only") required a fly rod/reel. Now if that
Californicator wants to put a fly reel on that spinning rod and use the *line*
to cast it, then *that* would be termed fly fishing. I didn't make the rules,
John.
