Fly Fishing with a Casting Bubble & a Spin Casting Rod & Reel

It's fun to catch fish using a fly -- especially one you might have tied yourself. But maybe you don't yet have a fly rod, or are an inexperienced flycaster. Don't let that hold you back! You can fish using your spincasting gear. All you need is a fly and bubble casting rig. The secret is the casting bubble. You want to make sure you only use clear casting bubbles -- because, believe me, fish can see those bright green ones just as well as you can!

Here are some tips to remember when casting flies with your spinning rod and reel -- and a casting bubble.

Cast just beyond where the fish are swimming or rising. Let the fly & casting bubble sit until the rings and bubble have dissappeared. Then, quickly reel the fly past the fish in order to invoke a strike reaction.

You can use dry or wet flies with the casting bubble -- and you can fill a good quality casting bubble with water or shot to achieve just the right depth for fishing.

A good fly & bubble casting rig will contain a 7.5 foot leader. You can adjust the distance between the fly and the casting bubble to suit your needs or conditions. For dry flies, maintain at least 24 inches between the fly and the casting bubble. For wet flies, you can adjust the distance to match the depth of the fish.

Remember, these techniques -- fly fishing with a spinning rod and reel -- and a casting bubble -- can be used on lakes, ponds, streams and rivers.

Finding Fishing Success with the Universal Flycasting Rig

Fishing is about spending time in nature, enjoying the outdoors and of course, catching that big fish. The Internet is full of tips and tutorials on how to catch the big fish, where to fish and the secrets that people use out on the lake and in the rivers and it can be hard to know who to listen to. This brings us to the Universal Flycasting Rig, one of the best rigs out there if you want to find a lot of success when you go fishing.
Of course, it also helps when you know some tips and tricks with the Universal Flycasting Rig. So, if you want to know how to get the big fish with this rod, just read on.
First of all, you should look at the scent you put on your fishing rod's flies, lures, etc. Fish actually have an amazing sense of smell, and if you can get them smelling something good when you are fishing, the entire process of catching them is made a lot easier. Some things you can do include:
  1. Keep suntan lotion, gas and insect repellent off your hands. When you touch the fly, you are leaving that scent on it and it will repel fish. If you do get some 'human scent' on the lure, just spit on it as this will mask the scent.
  2. When you catch a fish, rub that fish on the fly. This will not only mask your scent, but help make the fly smell more appealing to the fish.
  3. Crushing insects on the fly is also a very good method for putting a smell that fish look for on your fly, making it easier to catch them.
With your spinning rod, you should try to use about a six-and-a-half foot to a seven-foot rod as you will get the most success out of this. Graphite universal fly spinning rods are the best but are more expensive so if you can afford it, go for it. For your casting reel, use a reel that has a retrieve ratio of five spool winds to one crank turn, or 5:1.
Another important consideration to remember with the Universal Flycasting Rig is the line and the leader. The line should have a small diameter with no memory. For the leader, you want to have a tapered leader. The reason for this is that tapered leaders are more adept at keeping tangles from becoming a problem. If you have ever had to untangle a leader - you'll know one that does not tangle -- is worth its weight in gold. A good leader to use is a tapered, seven-and-a-half foot, six pound test.
Many people fish just for the experience of being somewhere quiet and relaxing while trying to catch a fish, but when no fish are caught you can't help but feel that there was something missing from the day. Now with the Universal Flycasting Rig, you can get that relaxation, with the success of catching some great fish using tried and true methods and equipment.
