A few things to keep in mind that I thought of recently - mostly because this is what we've been doing:

When streamer fishing a small stream, a power taper, WF line is invaluable. Essentially over-lining the rod, this line will flip and shoot with ease, limiting your false casting and have you in the zone with one false cast. Strip in, roll forward, one false cast, lay it on the water. Repeat. Very effective.

When fishing browns during a light hatch on murky waters, being able to shoot line on one false cast helps a lot. Why? The fish will be searching and could move anywhere about a 20 foot feeding window. When it rises, brown trout often are just lazily moving in the soft water looking for food. Being in a good position to simply roll forward, one false cast, lay it 3 feet above the rise will give you a chance. These trout aren't stationed and being able to get the fly in front of them will save you a lot of casting time.

Here's some shots of fish taken by the above means the past week or two.
