Rotate the torso and cast the line with only the double haul motions. This exercise uses no wrist or forearm motion from the rod hand while making the cast. It also enables the caster to see the forward and backward casts throughout the stroke. Shooting Line Shooting line occurs when the caster releases the fly line after the rod has come to a complete STOP . The only time period for line to be released for distance casts is when the fly rod ceases to be in motion.
Anglers typically desire the ability to implement long distance casts.
This is only a slight justification for mastering the technique. A prerequisite for efficiency in all distance casts will require the angler to first understand shooting line. All fly cast gain distance as the loop is unrolling towards the target area. As soon as the loop straightens, the fly line can take no more line. Learning to haul and shoot line are a necessity to master because they both enable the caster to conserve energy for all casting distances with the added advantage of eliminating those wasteful false casts.
