Yep. You gain a yard of distance because you are a yard deeper. And you
get another yard of line out because you're a yard further from the trees.
So your casts reach 2 yards farther out for every yard deeper you wade.

It may help a mediocre caster in a few situations but that is not
neccessarily true. The length of the total cast is not dependent upon the
length of one's backcast.
