Tricks for Casting Big Flies, with Pete Kutzer

There's no doubt that casting a size 6 weighted streamer is more difficult than a size 14 Parachute Adams. The physics are different, no way around it. But casting guru Pete Kutzer [37:17] has some tricks that he shares to make casting big streamers, nymph rigs, and poppers easier by adjusting your casting motions. This is a frequent question on the Fly Box so I figured there was a need for an entire podcast on the subject. In the Fly Box this week, surprisingly I did not have any questions on casting big flies. But I did have these tips and questions:

I have been looking for brown trout redds on my favorite wild trout stream but have not seen any. When and where do they spawn?
Does it make sense to look at my dry flies from underneath, getting the same view as the fish? I have discovered a way of projecting my flies on the ceiling to look at them.
My fly line lands OK, but my leader and fly curl off to one side and don't go where I want them to. What am I doing wrong?
Why do trout in my river prefer Golden Stonefly nymphs over the bigger Salmonfly patterns?
How do I know where to place studs on my Orvis felt-soled wading boots?
I fish dry droppers on small streams, but in really shallow streams my nymph keeps snagging on the bottom. Do you still fish dry /dropper on very shallow streams?
What is a good foreign language to learn if you travel to fish internationally?
Do trout in cold tailwaters migrate closer to the dam in summer?
I fish a trout stream where the channel was recently put back into an old stream bed. How long will it take for insects and crayfish to repopulate this area?
I kept missing strikes on a weedless Sneaky Pete. Do you think it was the weed guard, or was it just bluegills pecking at my fly?
How do people get their car to the take-out when fishing from a raft?
