Yeah, I bet it is. Any chance of video clip of a few low 20-plus
yard/meter casts of you managing this?

For the original poster, it depends - with some casts (a drop or tuck),
the fly _will_ land first, with others (a wiggle), the line _should_
land first and most times, how "softly" the fly lands really isn't
important. "Presentation" is not just the fly landing.
