Hi Ron,

Here is a Roll cast on an ultra slippy wooden floor. Almost the entire mpr line, no tricks

All the best

Hi Ron, I wrote post 236 before your reply, I’m not sure what happened there; Unfortunately the weather in the UK is quite warm, so there is no ice now. I’m sure there will be in January February, but in the meantime would you be happy with an echo mpr setup on a very slippy polished floor? All the ...

They must have sticky ice! It doesn’t work on regular slippery ice which regular equipment, i don’t care how much of an expert you are. If you’d like to have a little wager I’d be happy to take your money. Normal frozen solid ice — no tricks! Hi Ron, Instead of dismissing the possibility, it would ...

Ah yes, the Dunning Kruger effect I agree with Vince, you can certainly roll cast on ice and grass without the aid of an anchor tool. I have made one, but it’s unrealistic as you always get some slippage on water. Far better to practice without one, and as Vince says, it’s using too much force too s...

Hi All, I hope you had a fantastic Christmas I've been trying a Rio Gold Tournament, and i must say i find it very tricky (75' head). When i hit it right it does go a long way, for those of you that have used the MED as well, which would you say is the better line? All the best https://www.youtube.c...

Thank you both, I hope it’s a clear and concise post

Bernd, I’d love to try this cast and your thoughts about the snap Z are very interesting

An anchor that doesn’t slip sounds absolutely ideal

All the best

I would say that the purpose of he anchor is to assist in stabilising the D loop. But try this one: https://www.sexyloops.com/picofday/sexy ... ops7.shtml but instead of anchoring on water keep the cast airborne. You lose a few metres, not much. Hi Paul, I’ve done “airborne” speys, but never though...

There are still very many people who are thinking about loading and unloading the rod when casting. This I believe inhibits the cast and as a consequence we see a lot of problems with flyline weights.

Completely agree

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas :) Lots to read through Hello all, I would like to discuss single hand roll casting -- all aspects of it, to include the physics involved, the way the caster's body should move, grip, stance, timing, etc. I would also like to discuss the best equipment in terms ...

Hi Alan,

Casting the sock looks suspiciously like plain old spinning fishing to me. I wonder how heavy the fly has to be before it overwhelms the line weight and dominates the cast.

James did a FP on this but i can't find it anywhere

All the best
