What it technically and literally meant back then is a bit different today in that we do not have to grease our lines to keep them on the surface.
The rest is simply a slow broadside presentation, which is easy to envision but not so easy to pull off without fishing the fly too fast.
New guy fishing my local the past two seasons shows up end of February, sets up at the juicy pool, cinder block boots. Literally 100 shit casts/swings all the same without a single step. Fun to fish down to him, swing into his feet, then go around and low hole him. That's the only time I'll do...

Agree. No place on a public forum for ambiguous shit talk. Did Captain Moon yell at you because you blew a 40' cast, @NBC ? Tell us why we shouldn't hire one of the best fly fishing guides in the Mississippi delta, please.
