INDY fishing with the Loop Blue and SCUA

The SCUA cast is probably the best way to get anything down in heavy
flows. If you use a DT line or a long bellied WF, you can cast one of
these pretty far out and up stream.

Basically, the SCUA is an upstream lift where not enough energy is put
into the cast to have the entire line straighten out. Since the fly
is the first thing heading downstream, it goes down fast.

The SCUA stands for SCrewed Up Anchor as it's pretty common on the
initial lift of a double spey that you blow the anchor placement and
see the fly go past you, heading upstream (it's supposed to land
downstream of the caster, but with a big belly upstream). Since I
blow the anchor placement with some regularity, I got pretty
proficient at this. It's the most effective nymph cast I've ever
tried and it eliminates any need for mending.
