YOU CAN DO IT, but it really does take SOMEONE or SOMETHING to show you how, or YOU just are not going to get it.
I think anyone can do a roll cast and that is the cast I use 98% of the time...but, someone had to show me (MANY YEARS AGO)
Rods, yes my $14. Eagle Claw can roll cast, but it takes far more energy than any other rod I have. Same with that little 6' W.W.Griggs I have. For a little rod, it is a work out![/quote]
Maybe that's why I have great upper-body strength, years of poor equipment and roll casting! [laugh]
I agree, you need hands-on training with somebody who knows fly fishing. No one is expected to go out alone on the first time, and knock them dead. It's the same as every other sport, one needs a coach.
"MANY YEARS AGO" huh.....exactly how many? (lol, I know I'm getting in hot water with that question!) [laugh]
