Has anybody ever tried this "trick" cast? It supposedly serves the purpose of getting your fly in QUICK to check it.

I've played around a bit with this when I saw it in Simon Gawesworth's Single-Handed Spey Casting , where it appears on page 13! He starts the book with some theory and then a 'trick cast', which I found odd. Can't say I spent too much time with it; didn't like the fly coming towards my head along with the water from the fly line, but it's not really hard to do. I think there's something similar in Joan Wulff's Fly Casting Techniques, though not as dynamic; based on a roll cast. btw the Gawesworth book is fantastic!

Yes, it's sort of a softer, vertical version of the "Snap-T" for Spey casting, except that the Snap-T is used to set up your line for the forward cast. I'm not sure this would be very useful in windy conditions and, obviously, can only be done with full floating line.
