Remember, this entire conversation began when I said that there is no
need to false cast when your rig goes downstream from you, all you
need is a circle cast. That's, maybe, twenty feet of line. Richard
asked why would anyone nymphing use a false cast. RW and I replied to
get more distance.

The point isn't that someone might sometimes cast a lot of line without
false casting.

The point is that there are MANY occasions in typical trout fishing when
you will want to false cast a nymph rig. Rdean seems to think that false
casting a nymph right is NEVER appropriate.

Totally agree. And if you are casting a multi-fly set up, even with a
lot of weight, slowing down your cast will help (erase?) any foul-ups
of the rig.
