IF you want to get really "weird" but successful. Take your light line spinning reel and tie on a couple size 18 zebra midges in black then add a float with a small split shot to aid in casting. Drift that fly setup like you would on a fly rod. Benefits to this way is drag free drift = more strikes. I have caught tons this way when I didn't want to bring my fly rod.
Thanks
