Ok I have done some research, and I'm alittle confused here about casting my fly. Is it easier to cast it once I left it drop into the water? Or should the fly not touch the water until the final cast? Some say "let you fly/line out like 20ft or so in the water", and LIFT the line, and fly off the water into the back-cast. This seems hard, but maybe it's not. That's why I'm asking. Others say they have taken the casting lesson, and the fly doesn't touch the water until the final cast. Is this true? If so...what happens once the fly and line are out like 30ft or so...if I want to re-cast...do I reel/pull the line/fly all the way in?? and start again?
