Roll Cast – 5 Reasons We Love You

Roll Cast
A very nice place to roll cast.

Oh, Mr. Roll Cast!  You’re always there for us.  You might not be as glamorous as your cousin Mrs. Ninety-Feet-Onto-a-Dinner-Plate, but we still love you.  Here’s why.

5 Reasons We Love the Roll Cast

  1. Less time false casting.  You don’t distract us with supposedly sexy loops flying back and forth through the air, burning valuable fishing time.  We raise our rod tip, form a little D-loop, and you’ve got as fishing again (meaning fly actually swimming in the water), almost instantly.
  2. Fewer tangles.  Especially with multi-fly and/or indicator rigs, and especially when it’s windy, you tangle our tackle much less than your overhead brethren.
  3. Less work.  At moderate fishing distances – which is where most fish get caught, anyhow – you get our fly in the fishing zone with much less work than an overhead cast.
  4. Easy for beginners.  During the first few days of all of our fishing careers, you, Mr. Roll Cast, enabled us to get out to fishing distance consistently and with a lot less drama.
  5. Great with little backcast room.  This is the only reason most ‘good’ anglers use you – but for us it’s one of 5.  With a bunch of junk behind us, you never let us down.

    If this guy goes any further up in the spot all is left is bow and arrow casting. Tasty trout water!
