When you combine hauling with a hovering technique, you have the tools for the greatest accuracy. Hovering is a false-casting method that uses extra power to extend your fly over the target and measure proper distance. Do not allow the fly to touch down, but get it close over the water. Keep your casting plane high in the back and low to the front. This multiple false casting near the target can give you the most exact results.
Practice exercises Practicing for accuracy is one of the fun aspects of flycasting.
It doesn't take a great deal of space, so most yards work fine as a practice area. Begin by tying a piece of yarn to the end of a regular 3x, 4x or 5x leader by using a clinch knot. Trim the yarn with scissors so there is little air resistance and bulk. Remember to use a good rod position tight to your face. Angle your casting plane to tilt low in the front.
