When you put your fly to sight-catch a moving fish, will your target be moving, too?

The first cast is always the best cast.

While false casting yes, but generally we are committed on the final backcast.
It's an exploration; bring a flyrod.

I very often have seen the early forward rotation to automatically have been gone, as soon as it was possible to pause the rod still and not loosing the bc by for example too wide loops, mismatched trajectory or mismatched line speed. Ime this marked the early forward movement to be compensating a poor bc and get away with it rather then rushing by anticipating the next cast.
That’s not Creep as I use the term.

The difference in focus of attention between an expert and student pianist

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.” — Ernst F. Schumacher
