Roll Cast
Use the roll cast when there is no room behind you to cast. Practice this cast on the water.
- Hold the fly rod out in front of you and make sure there are no tangles in your fly line.
- Bring the fly rod tip back so that a small segment of line hangs loosely behind your casting shoulder.
- Move the fly rod forward gradually; slowly at first, then speed it up steadily.
- Stop when the rod tip is still pointing slightly upward and watch the loop unroll.
