John, practise doublehauling. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to cast 40' to 60' with just a single haul.
The other thing with a Clouser is to open up your loop, and on your backcast extend your arm out in back of you keeping your arm straight. When the fly comes to the end of the stroke, then proceed with your forward cast.
I'll see if I can find some Lefty Kregh casting examples. It's better than me trying to explain. I could show you if you were here but.......
edit- one more thing I thought of, on your backcast, shoot some line out- let the line slide through your left hand once your backcast is in motion (assuming your right handed).
Clear as mud yet?
