I am going to echo Mc and DR on this. Spinning rods are not designed to present the line, even Those COMBO sets never work for the ff end. The guides are TOO big and there are not enough.
There are short Fly Rods, but again, there are more SMALLER guides and the are placed to create very little friction, so you can load the fly line.
I am assuming you are talking FLY REEL and FLY LINE. In this case I say NO. Oh sure you can probably catch fish like this, but so will a stick and a string.
IT IS NOT FLY FISHING.
Putting a fly on a spinning outfit is fishing a fly, but not fly fishing.
If you are talking using a fly reel with mono on a spinning outfit... well that is still a spinning outfit with a funky reel.
You want to learn to FLY FISH you need the gear and that is all there is to it. You DON'T need to break the bank on gear though. I will say, the line is the most important thing.
