Float fishing can be done and be just as fun using spinning tackle. Trying to learn to fly cast on a float trip can be difficult as casting to likely looking areas precisely and repeatedly while on the move can be trying to say the least. Just talk to the prospective outfitter/guide and ask for recommended tackle, lures, sizes and colors and bring a reasonable supply of lures. Spinners like Panther Martins, Vibrax, and Mepps and small spoons such as Kastmaster, Lil Cleo, and DareDevil work well. Almost forgot, lures such as Rapala, Rebel and Flatfish can also work quite well. If you plan on fishing lakes then using spinning tackle with the fly and a bubble technique with flies such as soft hackles, Renegades, Woolyworms, Woolybuggers, and Pistol Petes can be very effective.
