Requirement
5. Cast 30 feet, consistently and accurately, overhead and roll
Required Often forgotten
Both techniques, and both standards: consistent and accurate, not one good cast. This is the outfit from requirements 2 and 3 put to work.
Notes and warnings
Note. Consistently and accurately, at 30 feet, with both the overhead and the roll cast. One good cast of each does not answer this; the standard is repeatability, and the roll cast is the one that needs a bank behind you to make it necessary.
Where this step comes from
- Fly Fishing Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 5 · Sets the standard as casting 30 feet consistently and accurately, using both overhead and roll cast techniques.
