It sounds like the fish were just a little less active this week and didn't want to take to a spinner, but instead prefer the bait or fly that they did not need to chase. I would try either going the bait route, slowing your retrieve down and add more pauses to it, or buying a couple flys (muddler minnow, woolly bugger, coachman) and use them a few feet behind a bobber to sorta kinda match what that flyfisherman was doing.
There'll be lots of opinions on what'll work, so just gotta try as many options as possible till you find the best one!
