The basic back and forward cast is used when you want to project your fly at a further distance. The fundamental mechanics is to face the direction where you want to toss, hold the rod right in front of your body and make sure that the ling is kept straight. Carry the tip of the rod back in a prompt yet stable, upward motion and stop when the tip of the rod levels and slightly behind you. Observe your back cast carefully and when the line straightens completely; bring it forward sharply. The roll cast must be used whenever fishing in a tight spot and confined space to execute the back and forward  cast. The difference between them are the unhurried movement of the rod forward.

Attach the fly as bait and make it move as if the fly appears to be alive. Keep practicing these casting and sooner than you know you have mastered the techniques.
