Was just wondering on what you consider your primetime fishing position for both sensitivity and comfort. I find after I make a cast out there, I make a mend upstream to straighten out my fly for the hang down (and then slow swing later on) but I then position my two hander so that the butt end is in my right armpit, I have my right hand with my middle two fingers on the spool/rim and the line in between the pinky and the next finger (I reel left). This way I can set the hook when needed because I can stop the spool, and I can also feel subltle bites with my pinky finger brushed up against the line. I point the rod about 5-10 degrees up from the parallel (to the water surface), and raise it more if I'm fishing a faster section of river to keep more line off of the water.
