You and I really are beings of parallel universes. I wrote a piece once called "Spin-Fly" in which I discussed numerous ways to fish flies and streamers with a spinning rod - including using a spin reel on a fly rod. I actually prefer a closed-face under-rod spin-cast reel for this, and have one permanently set up that way. A nine-foot fly rod can toss a jig and fly or bubble and fly a helluva way with 4# mono.
I don't recall which magazine carried that piece, but I do remember getting a passel of "why didn't I think of that" letters from readers.
That old chestnut about new things under the sun, eh?
