They are typically found in locations where fly casting is more challenging 🙄
The fly needs to either go under the log or land just beyond it 🙃

@enog Is there such a thing in fly-fishing as a side arm cast? That's the only way I can see getting something back in there.

@GregArcus

Yes, I often use a side cast when space is limited above me. But, for this particular spot, the sky is open and enough room behind me, so, I can do a back cast, although a backhand cast is more appropriate for this spot.

@enog Sometimes fish for bass around docks where there's only about 2' between the dock and water, I try to skip my lure to get underneath where they hide. I'm not very good at it. 😔

@GregArcus

I assume that lures are quite heavy, which makes it difficult 🤔 I frequently attempt to cast my line into narrow spaces beneath trees, but the fly often ends up on branches 😢
