Fishing Spinning

If you want to learn about fishing flies with spinning gear, using the spinning fly technique (otherwise known as the bubble and fly), then you will want to read every word of this article. Specifically, we are going to discuss what’s so great about the spinning fly, special tackle you will need and the type of waters that are appropriate for using this killer spinning fly technique. After reading this article you will be able to rig a fly and bubble and try it for yourself.

The spinning fly is an indispensable tool to the savvy spinning fisherman. It allows for the use of flies, once the sole playing ground of fly fisherman, but with regular spinning rods and reels. Maybe you’re asking “Why would any self respecting spinning fisherman want to mess around with flies?” Well, its a well know fact that when it comes to certain species, like trout, under certain conditions, flies are just flat out more effective.

This may come as a big surprise, but using the spinning fly technique can help you catch more trout than lures or bait. If you’ve ever found yourself getting skunked, then you’ll understand why its a good idea to have more than one or two fishing techniques under your belt when your baits and lures don’t work. But, there is another even better bonus to using a fly and bubble with your spinning gear, and that is; with this special rig you will have access to waters with special regulations that bar bait and other lures. That means you can fish water that was previously off limits to you and will continue to be off limits to other bait fishermen!

So, I’m sure you’re imagining all the new found fishing success you will soon be having, and are wondering how you can get started with this super effective technique as soon as possible. Fortunately for you, its easy to get started with the spinning fly. You need three very inexpensive pieces of equipment besides your regular spinning rod and reel. These three pieces of tackle are:

1. A bubble

2. A swivel

3. A piece of leader

The trick to making a spinning fly rig work with a spinning rod is using a bubble, and also the right kind of bubble. A bubble is kind of like a regular bobber, except for a few important differences. The most important of these being that it can be easily opened to allow you to fill it with water.

To rig this up, you attach the bubble to the main line that is coming off your spool. Then tie on a swivel under the bubble. To this swivel you add your leader and the fly at the end of the leader. Viola! You have yourself a spinning fly. Tying a fly and bubble rig like this is easy as 1, 2, 3. You can find instructions for tying this type of spinning fly rig in various places, with very little variation. The hard part is learning how to fish it properly and knowing what type of fly to tie on and when.
