Tilting the rod away from your body, aim it in the position of one o'clock. Next, force the rod backward and forward, moving the rod into the 9:30 position. Once at 9:30, stop. The more suddenly you stop, the better. Follow this method while keeping the line behind the rod. This will help you to move the line downward instead of in front of you.

The trout are paying attention to avoid being snagged. But then all of a sudden you change direction and surprise them. If you are successful at this, you are on your way to outsmarting that river trout.
