Fly fishing: How do I increase my cast distance with my 10wt?

I can currently cast fairly accurately about 35-40 feet. I’d like to get that to 50 feet or further. Any advice?

Learn to single- and double-haul. It will increase your cast exponentially!

Agree with the above advice. Using a 10wt, you definitely can get more than 40'. You can also explore using a "shooting head line" ( google & check out youtube). Double haul should be getting a good 60'-70' with a 10wt.
Practice, practice, practice.... still "perfecting"(lol) my casting for the last 55+ years ! Good luck !

Timing is paramount. Agreed on the single and double haul.
