Ziggy out of all of those I only recognise  the roll cast  which is the first cast I learned, and still feel should be the first cast taught taught to any aspiring f/f.

Herman - you will probably be as surprised as I was  to see that you know more than just the roll cast - I thought so too until I went through the clips - I have been flyfishing for 35 years and over that time I intuitively developed some casting techniques to solve problems - turns out that many of those have names!

Ziggy from your list there, I use the roll cast and wiggle cast plenty, and the tuck as well. Like you say, what would be considered on the water improvised casting, some bloke has a name for it.

Very cool, never knew they had names, I use the tuck cast and roll cast quite a bit.
