I have fewer problems if I think of it not as a cast but a lob.


Good description. It is also the only way you can cast a worm with a fly rod
without losing it. And, yes, I have done it many times. Kreh calls it a
"circle cast".

Avoiding false casting is the key, especially if there's significant
wind. If I have to cast a multiple, weighted nymph rig very far, I'll
often let the backcast fall into the water behind me (or just let the
nymph swing around downstream), and then use the drag of the water to
load the rod for the forward cast, getting enough impulse from the rod
to shoot some line.

BTW, I don't think putting weight between the nymphs is necessarily a
bad idea.
