The fish they catch with their fly on a combo are either from a stream that you can step across and are basically dabbing the fly on the water like a skittering caddis or they have packed a float tube in and are fishing with sinking line. I agree totally that a combo rod is first a spinning rod and then an emergency fly rod at best.
Basically it would probably be better for them to fish a spinning rod and a fly and bubble deal but I only argue with them if they take my beer. I actually sat down with one of them last night to discuss a Wind River trip this coming summer and this discussion was brought up. He still hasn't decided on what he will be fishing with but I picked up a 4 piece 3/4 wt off of E-bay last week and it's his Christmas present so I am thinking he has to take that. My wife will be taking a fly rod this year so he will really fell like a wussy if he doesn't.
