I'm pretty sure that it's possible to get the line configuration an anchor point with B. The line is pulled along its length and the line end can quite easily flip over, especially with a heavy fly or sink tip.
I'll also try playing with this and a sinktip line over the next week.
Cheers, Paul

Hi Mark,
am just back from a three weeks Steelhead trip. I used heavy flies most of the time and did not realize any problems with my anchor not being inline with the D and the target when using the snake roll. And I used the snake roll pretty much.
A key figure to me is moving the tip (almost all the way) in that plane - in which I want my D, anchor and target to be in - first.
Then start the whole circle movement (in that plane) unsing "back, back, up" and a speed up in the last part of going into the D.
That way it works fine for me.
I was using a 10 meter head length on a 13' dh rod.
Hope that helps.
In addition you may want to move your tip a slight bit away from you (directed into the river) on it's way to that position where you first hit the final plane. This way you achieve extra way into the D...
