Not saying you don't know it, but what helped me immensely in terms of accuracy is the way George Daniel grips the fly rod. Great book by the way. Also standing with your upper body square to the intended target area. As an example, when Czech nymphing and you are at the end of the drift on the back, square up first with the target area on the next drift.
Also waiting for the flies to "bump" on the back before proceeding with the forward stroke, in general the stroke slows down quite a bit. See the attached image for the grip.

The square up to a target helps, but adjusting your casting stroke makes the biggest difference. next time I am at your shop, I will show you a little technique change that works for me. It will improve the accuracy to 90% plus, landing the fly in a 15cm diameter spot.
