Roll Cast

A roll cast is a handy maneuver when you’re fishing in tight quarters, such as a trout stream with trees and bushes on either side. In these situations, there isn’t much room to make a big overhand cast, so anglers will instead use a roll cast, which sends the line straight out across the water with a flick of the wrist. 

Casting takes practice. Much like developing a good golf swing, it will only improve over time as you get a feel for it. Look for a place to practice where there are few obstructions around, like an open field, or better yet, a sandy beach near an open expanse of water. 

Ultimately, there are few things more satisfying than the moment when you make your first perfect cast. Once you’ve done that, there’s nothing left but to head to your nearest river and try it out for real.
