"Good points about spooking fish, line drag and distance. Most Trout are caught within 40 ft to 60 ft. max. It is more important to learn how to mend line for drag free natural presentations."
Yeah fair point but if you can cast 100ft + well then it makes the 40-60ft presentations a lot easier and you'll still be able to cast well into a head-wind if need be.
I'm having trouble having my mono line at the end uncurl when I distance cast, any tips for making the fly travel past the mono line? my mono is grouped together whilst my fly line is straight
yes i believe it`s better to be accurate than cast long but fishing the flats for bonefish , you have to be able sometimes to get distance , plus casting a long line is a great feeling like hitting a bullseye in archery

i have fly fished for twenty years and have never needed to cast over 40 ft unless i was show boating in my youth. Better to make shorter casts and control the drift and drag, than long casts that will just spook fish
ok even if you cast that far on the streams and rivers i fish you couldnt control the drift or drag so you would spook more fish than you catch, better to learn to stalk and make shorter casts
I suppose you could cast big flies with those rods but the way they're set-up there is just for distance casting. They would tire you out pretty quickly to fish with them. A double handed fishing rod is a scaled version of one of those.
Pulling back on the line, or "hauling", increases the line speed. We start the haul with the start of the cast, whether it's the back or forward cast, but accelerate progressively toward the stop. If you haul too early it can open the loop and cause a tailing loop.

@sylvaner01 - My guess is the weight of your fly is not properly matched to your line and leader, or you may be force casting.

I thought the point of fly fishing was to catch fish; not to hit the space shuttle. Great skills but I think it's a waste of time.

The rod at 1:18 is a two handed surf rod. Built to cast big flies on heavy line.
