Times have changed… I think. It doesn’t seem like there is the same kind of animosity from fly fishers directed towards folks tossing worms and lures. While there are some real potential problems with certain types of fishing (deep-hooking with treble hooks, litter from bait containers, etc.), there is no reason to vilify an entire group.

More pragmatically, there is no reason to jettison an entire approach to catching fish.

Today I’m sharing three reasons why you might want to pick up  a spinning rod. While I primarily fly fish, a spinning combo is in my hand around 5% of the time I’m on the water. You may use one less; you might use one more. Regardless, it is a good idea to know your options.
