The Roll-Mend is a useful line handling technique for nymphing.
At the end of the drift, bring the rod back and make a roll cast. As soon
as the line lands on the water, mend the line upstream.
Especially effective when casting the usual indicator/weight
rig necessary for deep nymphing, the roll cast picks up the line and the mend
places the line where it needs to be.
This technique is best performed with a medium-soft rod that
can roll-cast effectively.
With a little practice, you will be able to Roll-Mend in a
wide variety of situations and a range of distances.
