Again, the object is to get your fly close to the fish. The roll cast Our second important cast for youth is the roll cast. A roll cast is a good choice to use when fishing creeks or in areas where trees or bushes wouldn't allow a backcast. It keeps the fly in the water and is easy to perform.

This tension causes the rod to load and make the forward cast. Begin like a regular cast with the line straight and rod tip low. With a 6-foot rod you will only need 15 feet of line out. Lift the rod and pull the line toward you, letting the rod cock slightly from the vertical to the rear. The line should loop toward the rear, with a portion lying on the water to the front.
