Default Which comes first?

When you cast, should the line hit the water first, followed by the
fly?

Or should the fly hit the water first, followed by the line?

As long as you're not slapping the water with your line, it doesn't really
make a diff. The whole shebang should straighten out while still above the
water, and then, hopefully, lightly waft down to the surface. A wind
resistant fly will probably land last.
