I would firmly agree with the comments by Henrik Mortensen because as a perfect example I used to watch perfect 'spey casts' carried out by what I would term the posers who were casting over water that did not hold fish. It made them quite sick of me when I crept up to the holding lies no more than 4 yards from the bank and catch fish with my home made heavy tube fly no more than an inch and a quarter long and with the first 'chuck. The method I always used was as Henrik states when he draws the fly upwards in front of the fish. I rarely bothered to fish any other way as this way does work.
Note what 'he' says when 'he's tried everything else'. I would question this with my philosophy why try other ways when one that works is successful ? However as Hugh Falkus famously and I might add truthfully and with experience said - 'the worst thing an angler can do is to be too successful'.
