    Default Name of the cast

    Good morning everyone,

    Quick question if someone can help me please.

    A while back someone showed me a small adjustment to your cast when you fish nymphs only which helps the fly enter the water vertically and the result was you could achieve depth quicker with your nymphs.(I hope I am explaining this correctly). At a small farm in Franschoek a while back I was struggling with getting my small nymph down quick enough for sighted fish and I wanted to try this cast to see if it makes a difference.

    Does anyone know the name of this cast?

    Thanks in advance
    Cheers

    I only learnt to properly use this cast about a year ago, its amazing the difference it has made to my fishing especially when focusing on Yellows.
