If you've ever seen people fly fishing with spinning rods and reels and wondered how do they do it, then you be sure to read this article. Specifically, we're going to discuss necessary tackle, how to cast and whether it's possible or not to cast without a bubble. After reading this article you should be able to decide if spin fishing flies is something you want to try.
While it is completely possible to spin fish flies with regular spinning rods and reels it does require a few pieces of necessary tackle. You'll need a casting bubble, a working and properly sized swivel, and an appropriate length of leader material. Finding the right casting bubble is probably the most difficult part of setting up your fly a bubble rig. There are several types of casting bubbles to choose from, the best type to use will depend on the type of fishing you are doing and the state of your vision.
Casting the fly and bubble rig is a little tricky, especially if your leader is on the longer end. A length of leader longer than the length of your rod can be very unruly for beginners who are spin fishing flies. The easiest and best way to cast a fly and bubble rig is off to the side, with a sidearm casting motion. If you are just beginning to study spin fishing flies, I would recommend keeping your leader in the 4 foot to 5 foot range. When you become more experience, then you can experiment with longer leaders (sometimes into the 12 foot range for the deeper presentations.)
Many times people want to know if it's possible start spin fishing flies, without using a casting bubble. The answer is yes, it is possible to fish a fly with spinning equipment without a bubble. But, it's not possible to cast it any appreciable distance. What this means, is that in an emergency, you could pay out your fly and line into a river, for instance, and let the water pull your line out. However, this is not casting and would probably get old pretty fast. You are much better off using a casting bubble of some sort.
To start spin fishing flies you only need a few pieces of additional equipment in addition to the spinning rod and reel you already have, but to get to the point where you're actually catching fish on a regular basis is going to require lots of practice. However, with some more in-depth training in the technique you could become an expert at spin fishing flies in less than a weekend.
