All my fishing is done with roll casts cause I never have any room behind me. So I don't get to look all pretty when I fly fish. I'm completely self taught. Somehow my fly lands where I want it to and I catch fish. All that matters I suppose, I aint out there trying to look perty.
I agree on all counts - the roll cast is easy to learn and versatle cast for many situations.
I use it to "roll" a sinking shooting head beyong the rod tip, before "launching" - it aint purty but it works.
Very useful for striped bass and salty critters....
I should have started Tom with that cast yesterday but not enough time - maybe next time school is in session...
