      When fishing at Montauk last week a gentleman entered the stream behind me and move slightly down stream. I couldn’t help but notice that he started catching fish about every 3-5 minutes. Being an inquisitive fisherman I asked what he was fishing with but he didn’t want to share the wealth. As I continued watching I noticed he had a spinner blade attached with his fly. I’ve never seen or heard of this before and is it allowed while fishing in the fly fishing only zone.

      Thanks Steve Baker

      In Missouri, as long as the lure only has a single hook (not a treble hook) it is considered a fly. It is easy to attach a spinner to fly. I have used them in the past when fishing for Bluegill. I choose not to when trout fishing.

      Steve sounds like this fisherman was possibly using a rooster tail!?!

      MofishMo,

      It is possible that the fisherman was using a Roostertail. He may not have wanted to show it because it had a treble hook which is illegal. Sometimes people don’t want to share their secret fly. However, you can buy a spinner on a wire loop, or just a spinner by itself to slide on the leader. You place a bead on the line, then the spinner, followed by another bead then tie on the fly.

      Grasshoppers:

      Spinners you now want to fish? Tears fill my eyes. Catching, it is not about. Trout parks spoil you. Prepare for the mountain streams you should. But catching makes it fun so discover new things – is ok.
