A Note from Mathias (@Mathiaslilleheim):

This is a cast that I use a lot to check if my fly is doing ok. Some call it the Snap C. First, I slowly lift my rod, then comes the downward snap, immediately followed by a sideways movement of the rod (for directional adjustment). In this video, I catch the leader in my hand, but when I fish, I must admit that I catch it on the rod (much easier). – Mathias Lilleheim
