That's because you're dragging your fly over what should be the turnover
point.

Huh?

I cast upstream ten feet, the indicator drifts toward me at a speed
slower than the surface current. I see a strike when the indicator is
six feet upstream. I set the hook. There's no drag involved. If
there was I wouldn't be so successful as a nympher.
