so i went to the water to practice some roll casting after watching some youtube videos and reading up the technique of roll casting and some single handed spey styles...
anyways, to cut a long story short, i sucked. i couldn't get more than 20-25 feet of line out and the leader/tippet/fly just plopped in a mushy mess instead of turning over and straightening out - and that's on the better attempts.
in most cases, i couldn't even get the first 10 or so feet of the fly line off the water.
then i tried "multiple roll cast" and that kinda worked. i would raise the rod, bring it around and up and then chop it down and repeat the process instantaneously... and that sorta helped.
but, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. it looked soooooo easy in the videos.
any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
