Task 9 is judged on a static D loop that leaves the ground at your feet or just in front, a head-high or lower elliptical loop, and a fully aerial delivery. Task 10 repeats it off-side. Task 11 asks for the roll cast pickup, the delivery, and an explanation of when you would use it — so the loop and anchor points carry over, and the pickup is the new work.

What the instructor says

• Static, not dynamic. Bring the D loop back, stop, put it down: it cannot be moving backwards when you cast.
• At your feet, or slightly in front. Coming off the ground way behind you “is going to be illegal”; with 40 feet of line you don’t need a giant anchor, and the rule says nothing about the rod.
• Head high or lower, elliptical. Not round — it should look like a normal forward loop, and you get elliptical by stopping with a straight rod-tip path.
• All of it aerial. “The whole entire cast needs to be aerialized with the fly and the leader and the line.” They can land together; line first, leader rolling out after, gets you dinged.
• Use an anchor. It is allowed, it makes a good loop much easier on dry land, and “the object is to pass the test.”

Putting it to work

1. Lay out about 40 feet and rehearse the order: D loop back, stop, put it down, static, cast.
2. Shorten the anchor until it lifts at your feet. Off the grass behind you, it is illegal.
3. Finish head high or lower, elliptical, fly and leader still in the air.
