Once the wet fly reaches the end of the drift and your fly line starts to straighten out, it will cause your wet fly to rise which would represent a nymph coming up from the bottom. Both actions will trigger a strike with a lot of the strikes coming towards the end of the drift as the wet fly is coming up.

Just my thoughts and nothing more....
Warren this presentation makes much more sense to me vs swinging flies.
