As a long time conventional guy, I have to agree that unrolling that perfect dry fly cast just ahead of a fish, quietly and delicately rewards anglers with a sense of accomplishment comparable to very few things in fishing. But seeing a fish take it down in the first few seconds knowing it was completely due to that precise cast generates raw emotions few things in fishing ever will.

Jason, we agree — watching the fish eat is the coolest part of the hunt. And if it comes from hard practice and form, even better.
Well said. Unconscious delivery of a perfect presentation in challenging conditions is incredibly rewarding.
