PLEASE stop with the sanctimonious crap! I have done hundreds of aerotows.. You need to lower the nose because you are in a climb attitude and need to transition to a glide attitude. On your next tow note where the horizon is on the canopy and compare it to where it is after release at the same airspeed.

While the nose ends up lower, you don't lower the nose. The decrease in airspeed does that for you, and the movement of the stick is rearward, to prevent the nose falling through into a dive and again attaining the aerotow airspeed.
