"Another basic principle of presentation and retrieve is the angle of the rod.  It is recommended for some nymph fishing that the rod be held fairly high,with the rip often above the head of the angler. But for almost every situation where you arte stripping in line to manipulate the fly, the rod should be kept very low, always below the belt.  when bass bugging, retrieving a streamer, brining in a bonefish fly, or anytime you retrieve an underwater fly, the rod tip should be kept very close to the water, or with he it; actually an inch or two under it.  This is a basic rule that will get you more fish."   "Advanced Fly Fishing Techniques"  Lefty Kreh   Rick
