Fishing Boats:
Freshwater Fishing Reels: "Most people who fish for trout prefer to strip the fly fishing line manually, rather than by using the handle. This is because it is quicker to strip the line by hand, rather than using the fishing reel handle. In addition, you can also get a better feel by holding the line in your hand.
In some situations when trout fishing, you will want to wind the line in using the handle. This could be when you are following a big fish, and want to be able to control the line better, or when you are fishing in somewhere where there are overhanging branches, or there is a risk of your line snagging on something. If you are moving around in the water a lot, you might also prefer to use the handle."
