I think that it's time we put this stupid thread to bed. He was using a fly rod and reel with a spoon in a legal maner. Where he was fishing is open to all gear,no matter how it was used. If he was using a fly rod in this manner he knew what he was doing and probably did this just to get a few rises out of us and you know it worked. I've fished flat fish off a boat with a fly rod and what I called it,I called it fun battling a fish with a fly rod.
