The Italian StyleMany folk think that the Italian Style is all about getting under the bushes, it certainly includes that, but the main intent is to ensure that the fly lands on the water first and drifts with little or no drag. It also seeks to get the fly into difficult to fish places, including across rapid water, into pockets and under overhanging bushes. So the style introduces some very handy fishing casts.
