Missouri River Trout Fishing
Author: admin
How do I use an open face spinner reel to fish for trout on a river in Missouri, can i fly fish with this reel?
In fly fishing you cast the line as opposed to casting the lure like in spin or bait casting. The weight of the line carries the relatively weightless fly. In spin casting the weight of the lure carries the relatively weightless line.
As already been mentioned, you can use a fly as bait with a float and cast that with your set up. Depending on the size of the fish you’ll be casting to, you can use your reel on a fly rod with fly line (if it’s large enough to hold a fly line) to hold the line. Then you’ll simply strip the fish in by hand using your fingers to place tension on the line to act your drag.
Back in the day, before the fly reel as we know it was invented by Charles F. Orvis (hence the name given to the CFO reel), people used bait casters to hold their fly line.
