by Joan Wulff (Author)
- Landmark book by expert caster, teacher, and role model
- Now in paperback with new preface
The celebrated Joan Wulff was one of the first and few women to earn a reputation as a noteworthy fly fisher. She first published this immensely helpful book for women who are learning the sport or those wanting to improve, and, because of its solid approach, it has found an audience with all who enjoy angling with a fly. "To get the most out of this sport," says Joan, "you must be independent: capable of choosing your tackle, tying on leader tippets and flies, reading water, wading safely, and playing fish with skill." The book teaches all these things and the myriad techniques that have worked for Joan in her lifetime of practicing and perfecting the sport.
