Another of life coincidences: I spent the afternoon spinfishing with a hybrid spinner/streamer.
I typically catch most of my trout on spinnerbaits, but, today, the hybrid fared the best. I didn't have much confidence in it to begin with, but the proof was in the pudding, as the saying goes.
I also have another hybrid lure that I assume is supposed to imitate a wet fly. It's tiny for spinning tackle but largish for a flyfisherman--about the size of a drowned damselfly. I've caught a few fish with it but am not fond of it because it doesn't swim well at all (has no action) and thus leaves a lot of slack in the line.
I suppose I could fish it with a strike indicator and see if my results improved.
Odd how our two worlds overlap, no? ;-)
