Fly fishing reels for trolling?

Question
Just wondering, Since fly reels are pretty much the same as mooching reels, are they capable of being used for trolling for salmon? I'm thinking fly reels such as Sage, Nautilus etc. Thanks!
Answer
My family uses fly rods and reels for trolling every day on Moosehead Lake in Maine. You can use either floating line for the salmon on top, or lead-line for those a little deeper. Nail a nice one with your line out as far as the filler line, and hold on for one of the most fun-filled retrieves you can get!
