Casting
Back and Forward Cast
Used when there is plenty of open area behind you and when you need to move your fly further out onto the water. Practice this cast on land. Tie a piece of bright yarn onto the end of the tippet so you can see it unfurl.
1. Pull out about three rod-lengths of line. Hold the rod out in front of you in your dominant hand and make sure there are no tangles in the line.
2. Bring the rod tip back in a swift, steady motion, stopping when the rod tip is pointing up and behind you.
3. Watch your back cast until the line unfurls.
4. Just before the line straightens out entirely, bring the rod forward again.
Roll Cast
Used when there is not room behind you to cast. Practice this cast on the water.
1. Hold the rod out in front of you and make sure there are no tangles in the line.
2. Bring the rod tip back so that a small segment of line hangs loosely behind your casting shoulder.
3. Move the rod forward gradually; slowly at first, then speeding up steadily.
4. Stop when the rod tip is still pointing slightly upward and watch the loop unfurl
