I see it mentioned, but never get the whole picture on how people are doing this.
Some are just dropping a fly under a bobber. How else are people using flies on spinning tackle?

i do it alot. small fly with a split shot 18 inches up. clouser minnow is weighted and can cast well.flies that hold water can be cast far and has a slow sink to it. i am working on tying dan blantons fatal atrraction fly on a 1/16 jig head. my worm fly[richs ultimate worm] is a weedless 4.5 inch chenille worm casts well with spinning gear go for it
Casting bubbles can also be used. Clear floats that can have water added to then for Weight
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
You can use nymphs under bobbers, #10/12
You can use wet flies when they are shallow, #8-12
Streamers can be used, they are basically just crappie jigs anyways. Some are sold by length, some hook size. Generally id say 3" and smaller flies, #2 and smaller. A standard #10 wooly bugger is a staple

It’s a really fun way to fish. Play with enough shot to get the best drag free drift that you can, and I use Leland’s crappie floats. I usually fix the float, but in deeper water you can slip rig it. Just about any nymph or fly a trout will take pans will slam.

I tie most of my Panfish flies on #8 sickle jig hooks with a bead head for weight. Seems those hook sizes sure can vary according to manufacturer. I like to use crappie nibbles or bites, Slabinator scent sticks, or waxworms under a Rocket bobber.

I’ve used a few methods to use a fly with a spinning rod.
Bobber/bubble with a fly
Drop shot
Tying flies on jigs
I prefer size 10-8 or 1/48 jigs for bluegills. Almost any old nymph will work, really. If you squirt a little slab sauce one them they work even better.
You should consider getting a fly rod and learning how to cast it. It is really a better way to throw flies. Fly casting is not that hard, and doesn’t have to be expensive. Although it probably will be expensive over time.

I can cast a fly rod, but spend too much time trying to tie the right dang knot.
