There are times where skittering a caddis upstream over likely lies will get the job done on the surface when nothing else will work. For most other
presentations on stream I always attempt to place the fly line or hold line off the water or extend my rod arm/rod to prevent drag. When the fly starts to
drag its time to pick up and try again.
Of course the "lift" at the end of each drift using nymphs is an "always" exception and should be done gently/realistically where you will pick up more than a few fish by accident.
