Casting nymphs

[ScottyP]

The first couple of years that I nymph fished, I would let the current load my rod at the end of the drift, and then do a simple lob cast back up stream. I could then throw out a roll cast to get the flies where I wanted them, or just start mending the lob cast for a better drift. Lately, I find myself doing more traditional casts with nymph/weight/indicator setups. This seems to work better for me as long as I keep the loop opened up on the false casts and use small indicators. I keep the false casts to a minimum (just 1 or 2 to aim the presentation cast).

Anyone else have any thoughts on nymph casting? I don't fish with other people alot, so I'm just wondering if this was a natural progression type thing, or just personal prefference.
