There are days when I just want to stick a lure on a line and do something different than flyfish, days when I want to fling it out there as far as I can and not worry a particular casting style or mending a line or having room to back cast. I like using a thumb operated spincast reel or a spinning reel or a baitcaster once in a while, and a Mepps or a Dick Nite or a Rapala or a bottom bouncer and a leech for a change. Used Griffiths gnats on a spinning rod while sight fishing. Caught little perch on my fly rod and kept them on there as bait occasionally, soaked the flies in the herring box to stink 'em up, tied them on with a 4 or 8oz weight on a mooching rod and gone down 400 ft with them. I've texas rigged Berkley worms on a flyrod in super weedy areas as well.
I just like having fun at it, and am not afraid to change things up and try something different once in a while.
