I always figured that if I had to retrieve a fly like that I might as well use a spinning rod.
Not sure what kind of nymphing you are doing or what kind of water your doing it in but when fishing moving water I'm making anywhere from 10 to 30 casts a minute depending on the rate of the flow and the length of the drift. I assume you were talking about still water?
