One of the main reasons is nymphers tend to work a run opposite to the "tradition". They camp on water and work down to up vs. start a the top and cast, swing, step.... That gives everyone as they arrive an equal opportunity to work the run as new fish enter and move around the pool. Agree or disagree that's my story.
