I've been fishing a new to me beach, that gets a swift, fast walking speed, current that runs parallel to the beach. I use an intermediate line. I've had a little success but I know that there's fish I'm missing. Casting straight out seems futile as the line is instantly taut whipping the fly inward. My preferred presentation is to use a soft hackle river style. Slightly up-current cast with a big upstream mend allowing the fly and line to sink. As the line tightens allowing it to swing up and around and then stripping in. Can't say I'm satisfied with the results. How do you all fish such conditions?
