I tend to fish in areas where I don't have a lot of area behind me where my back cast won't get snagged on trees and other debris.

Consequently I have taken to facing the trees/bushes that are behind me, guiding my line/fly into the open slots in the brush then turning forward for my last cast to guide it to the spot on the water where I want to place my fly.

It's not foolproof as far as final placement on the water - but I don't hang up on my back cast at all. I must admit that it looks goofy because it appears that I'm casting into the trees.

Does anyone else do this???
