a roll cast will lift the line to the surface and can position the line in a more favourable position ready for your main cast.

Iain, Pete, Gary, or anyone who can,
I understand that most Spey casting is done with a "D" or roll cast, or
a variation of them. These I have not tried yet as I have not tried casting
yet. Still trying to find some diagrams of how the cast should progress.
Anyway, new question, what do you do when you have finished the drift and
the line and fly is now down stream? Do you simply pick up the line, load
the rod and cast back upstream as you would on the second half of a back
cast? Or do you have to strip some line in to prevent over loading the rod
and do this, then roll, "D" cast to get your distance. New experience for me
and I want to at least get the basics planted in my brain before I try it.
Once I get the truck back on the road and get a line/ reel set up I plan to
go to the water and try this. We have no grass here so don't want to
practice on dirt.
Thanks in advance.
