@all Thanks for the help and the super references to fly fishing sites.
Charles Ek Mar 11, 2019:
Indeed. The function of a fly reel, unlike other types, is simply to store the line, not retrieve it after casting.
Christopher Schröder Mar 11, 2019:
Having watched my son fish, you pull the line with your hand, you don't use the reel. I don't know the term offhand. If nobody else answers I'll ask my son this evening.

Retrieve

I understand this as a hand retrieve. Perhaps US English and UK English might differ. Here is a link

bringing the line in

So ...bringing the line in as quickly as possible. As Chris suggests, you land a fish with the line when fly-fishing, rather than with the reel as you would with a fixed-spool reel (when coarse fishing or spinning).
