Roll cast

Roll cast

The roll cast is a casting technique that does not require a back cast, making it ideal for situations with limited space behind the angler, such as when fly fishing near trees or brush. The roll cast is performed by allowing the line to rest on the water, then lifting the rod tip and using a forward motion to propel the line out in a loop.
