By spacing out the shots you allow for several things. You can better maintain the integrity of the loop which inturn alows for better line control, accuracy and proper roll over of the fly. It also allows for a better float and or drag of the fly to help introduce and/or maintain a more natural life like presnetation. You can also better maintain a straight mid column float in faster water where you need to get the fly down qickly.

With several properly spaced shots the fly will sink to your desired depth and the water friction, on the exposed tippet/leader will push it up in sections helping to maintain a more controled and straight lined balance of the fly in faster water, at your desired debths.

Best Regards...
