hmmm....not even by letting out, say 45 feet of line into the flow, then
roll casting and feeding the other 15 feet on the roll?? I'm not sure that
can't be done. Not all all sure.

Would YOU want to fish like that? A nymph (usually fished weighted)
would drag down some of the line. Try it, Tom, and get back to us.

No, it's hardly a favorite method for me, but it CAN be done. In fact, that
was the only way to get to a very good midstream trout at Penn's last week
with a pair of wets.
I'd love to report that I landed the fish, but I did hook and lose it.....

as reported above, I have, but only with unweighted flies.
In fact, I use that cast a few times in the fall with streamers, on a 6
weight, clear intermediate tipped floater.
We're talking about 3 inch Brown Trout imitations in heavy water, in this
case.
And, no, before the nit-picking enters, I wouldn't recommend such a
long-range flail with weighted nymphs.
In fact, I wouldn't recommend anything beyond getting as close to the quarry
as one can when fishing with weighted nymphs.
