that's one way to get some distance...if you think about it, typical 90' line + 9' foot leader....you max cast is only about 30 yards if you make a great double haul and shoot your entire line under perfect conditions...and like George said, the mechanics of fly casting are what most people struggle with, that and line management....spend a little time off the water getting used to laying line out in different directions and managing the line as well as in a little wind so that you learn to get the wind in your favor so you don't end up with a clouser piercing...enjoy the process
