I would say that if you are yard casting try casting in all direction every time,
Learn to keep the fly on the down wind side of you. Makeing cross body,overhead,canted wrist, offside casts. Even learn to cast with the other hand.
IF the wind is on your rod side make oval loop back cast and bring the rod tip over your off shoulder.
Tight loop into the wind. Change your Tracjectory on your cast to unroll at the surface or target.
Just for the fun of it see how many ways you can make a cast with the wind from different directions. Work on the hard ones.
