Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} CI Test Prep: Roll Casting on Grass

clip the end of the leader under a clipboard clip

or

glue a clothespin to a chopstick, stick the chopstick into the ground,  and secure the end of the leader with the clothespin

or

ask someone to stand on the leader

they all work!

It would help if your anchor (fly line touching water at base of d loop) had separation of the adhesive hydrogen bonds between the water and the line to allow for proper loading of the outgoing cast. The only time I've seen this work properly was Pete Kutzer casting a two hander in a flooded field in Vermont several years ago.

This image somewhat illustrates your line on top and water below:

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} CI Test Prep: Roll Casting on Grass

Question for the CIs and other test preppers: What system do you use to practice the roll cast tasks on grass. I'm planning to start experimenting with a "grass leader" but was wondering if there's another system that doesn't require me to get a second rod setup just for roll casts. Also, I would obviously prefer to practice with whatever setup(s) I'm most likely to see on the exam.

Thanks,

Andrew R
