can you use a spinning reel with a fly rod?
cheap telescopic is ideal for course stuff. I've got a shitty kids thing that is small enough to take cycle touring with minimal gubbins, caught a fair few mackerel with it (four in one cast which was scary as I thought the rod would just snap in two...)
thinking about it I'd love to have a couple of weeks up in the wild north with a bike and some fishing gear ;(

Tried out a small spinning reel today and lobbing various weights of lure about.
Didn't cast much further on actual mono line than over using weighted fly line.
