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

Just learn to do it on grass :-)  it isn't as easy, but it works.  I've also used the clipboard and a piece of pvc with a notch cut in it.  

The best way to practice is on water, and I've actually found that puddles work really well.  So if I see you standing out in the street casting on a rainy day, I'll understand.

Grass leaders are a good solution because most of the other solutions require setting up the leader by hand. (clothes pin, clip board, ...

There's a few key things that will make your roll cast work well on the grass and on the water:
1. Pull your rod up slowly and point it behind your head; this will for a bit of a D-loop, the more line you have behind you the easier the cast is (your tester won't let you have more than a rod length though)
2. Lift your elbow to shoulder level and start slow, I mean really slow
3. Apply power at the very end of your forward stroke
4. Stop the rod tip high, like 11 o'clock high

Your tester will be willing to stand on the line, but this isn't really necessary if you follow the above steps.
