Good answer Trent. I like the riffs and as you say cast up and drift. I have a hard time sometimes getting the fish in the ponds to get up and move, but in the riffs they are already active. I am not saying I don't fish the pools - I ain't completely nuts----yet.
I do work close to shore and move out as I go, so I don't scare any fish.
I will start out maybe 3' from shore then 5', then so on. Sometimes the fish are right in front of you. Have you ever stepped into the river and fish scatter all around your foot. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout[cool]
Around my parts of the water, a good roll cast is still a must. Specially if I am using my boo, which doesn't work real well with faults casting a nymph. Roll cast is the only way with this rod to get the nymph back out. Dry fly is a whole different ballgame.
