And the 2016 Nobel prize for physics goes to J.R. Hartley, who'd have thought a fly fisherman could re-write so many accepted laws Hidden Content

Re: line distance
You'll always be able to cast further standing as your body movement plays a part in the cast.
That said I don't find the need to stand up to cast in fact I don't like it it's unnecessary imo, I'm far from an expert but can comfortably cast 60/65ft from a seated position, I've found when casting any further fish tend not to hook up as well.

Re: line distance
Surely rather than cast further you could just move the boat??

Re: line distance
If you are sitting down the fish will be closer so it is all a bit theoretical.
