How should I cast to a trout lying in the tail of the pool?

I frequently encounter trout sitting in the tail of a pool just above the start of the next rapid. So the trout is in slow water with much faster water downstream of it. So typically the fly is swept downstream too fast by the line and leader in the faster current. How does one avoid drag in such a situation?

An across or downstream presentation works sometimes but frequently vegetation prevents this.
