"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 are 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."
