Jeff,
I do not feel that 80 ft is a
'hail Mary over 110 ft would be a 'show cast'. If you can do it. fine. But most
of the Masters I know do not need to do this kind of casting in most cases. The
idea of making the controlled cast are a better way to influence your
students. Making hooks, and mends catch fish. Making "Show cast" are the
results of good casting mechanics, I agree. Small problems can create major
flaws in what would be a NICE controlled cast. For the new to this level of
casting I will still say make it look good. Make it controlled. I feel that I
have nothing to prove by making a 100ft+ cast. Placing the mend around a spot or
an hook that lands the fly in the target with the slack where it needs to be is
more of show of control and I can teach control.
