The Figure 8 Cast

Another very easy cast I've learned, is let the line drift downstream to
load the rod, and
in one motion shoot it back up stream.
I use that technique quite a bit, especially when casting a heavy fly
with a too-light rod and also when nymphing with a complicated, weighted
rig (to avoid foul-ups when false casting).
It isn't pretty but it works.
