The Lift
The “lift” or “pick up” is used to get the fly line off the surface of the water and into the back cast. To set up the fly line before the cast it is important to arrange it so that it is as straight as possible in front of the rod tip and along the same directional line as the back cast but in the opposite direction i.e. the back cast and fly line on the water are in line with each other when viewed from above. This will ensure that the fly line will be under tension as it is lifted off the water.
