  1. yes, you can make it work, with one small addition to your gear- you can't cast a fly with a normal rod and reel because the fly is not heavy enough. But they sell things called casting bubbles- these are bobber that you can partially fill with water to give them weight- this allows you to cast it. then you attach a long leader with the fly. This will allow you to cast a fly with a regular rod, but be aware that the heavy splat from the casting bubble may spook the fish, so you need to be careful. Good luck!
  2. use aboober cast it ou and let it sink then move it about a foot and let it sink and keep doing this all the way back in watch your bobber
  3. You can but you will need to add some kind of weight to the line even if your using a heavy fly and a fast action spinning rod it wont cast so well, use a fly rod for a better distance, if you still want to use a spinning rod then use a bubble type float/bobber.
