I stand corrected! This makes thing #2 that I learned today! Thanks George.

Not really a correction Scott, maybe a useful tip for a beginner, depending upon the fly caster skill level. Backyard grass just doesn’t create the tension on the fly line that water applies that “loads” the rod.
Very useful cast.
Best,
George

Scott, you may find this you tube helpful for the roll cast.
I use more of a Lefty Kreh side arm presentation but this style is popular.
