[32-40win]

Distance casting is somewhat more like a wienie extension than useful on a river like the Bow with varying water flows that affect the line drift. If you only get 40ft out and cast it accurately, you are far better off. On a lake, salt water or really slow flowing water, it can be useful though, depending on where and what you are fishing for. Roll cast is more useful along river/stream banks.
And there is nothing wrong with using a click drag reel on a fly setup, just have to be more aware of line control with your fingers on the reel, can use a piece of leather as a drag aid on the reel rim. Used Scientific Anglers click drags for many years, they work just fine. If you can find it, Lefty Kreh had a vid out with 101 Flyfishing tips on it, it's worth watching, not sure if anyone else has done one anything remotely like it since., or even if it ever got put on a DVD. And there is an Alberta flyfishing group on FB run by Gary Hanke that has a treasure trove of info from the competitive flyfishing world that can be very useful, lot of good stuff in the files section in that group.
