Sadly this cast is so bad he is using the maximum amount of line it can handle. As the belly of the line hits the water first it stops energy transfer from turning the line over. Any extra line would land in a heap at the end.

ya it wasnt the best presentation, but looking at the VERY first roll cast he does I think he would have benefited from more line out when using that style of roll cast

Not a good roll cast. The rod is stopped too low, firing the line down onto the water, landing with a fish scaring slap.
Stopping the rod between 10 and 11 o’clock allows the line to roll out above the water (which is why it is called a roll cast) once the line is out the rod can be lowered the line lands gently on the water. When mastered this cast allows line to be shot giving more distance which is not possible if the rod tip is firing the line down onto the water rather than out over it.

yes indeed. I got together some fly fishing gear at flea markets and regular pole. This is my first week just needed some variation on summers “weeds” and monotony. As I practice blue gills are caught sometimes…. very clumsy but starting to work!

whatever comes …
whatever comes natural to you is what should be done with casting a fly, its obvious some people just are not made for fly-fishing and should stick to hook n worm fishing. but As long as you know that you’re casting the line and not the lure, which is what most people have problems with when it comes to fly casting then you should get the “proper” distance…

Well supposedly if …
Well supposedly if you master the “proper” way theoretically you should be able to cast it further then 10ft.

Just because he does it differently than you, doesn’t mean it’s wrong!
December 31st, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Not a very good …
Not a very good roll cast at all. He’s putting the line down on the water with too much force – look at the ripples. Any fish are going to be at the other end of the lake (unless they’re surfing on the waves he’s created).

theres no right or wrong way really.
as long as your cast keeps the fly out of the trees behind you and gets the fly in range of the fish. there is no right/wrong form i dont think in casting a fly…
