Masterpiece of Fly casting,
This review is from: Joan Wulff's Fly-Casting Techniques (Paperback)
It' was a wonderful, wonderful world. I like very much Mrs. Joan Wulff. She was a master of fly casting and has been deepened by meet Lee Wulf. In this book, she is talking about everything of fly casting, so easily for novice with perfect theories. I specially impressed at section for handicapped person. I have never seen like that in any casting books. It was little short, but enough to make her thoughtfull person. It is small disappointment that there are few real photos, but so many illustrations cover it. I think, it would be better to buy a Joan's casting video tape with this book.

A Wealth Of Information,
By Randy Kadish "Author of The Bad, The Good and... (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joan Wulff's Fly-Casting Techniques (Paperback)
No other fly casting book that I know of has so much detailed information about the techniques of fly casting. The book also contains a wealth of insight into how we can diagnose our casting defects. This book, however, might not be for everyone. Some of Joan's techniques are intially hard to understand and must be reread again and again. But I believe there is no substitute for studying this book. No wonder Joan was such a great casting champion.
