Joan Wulff is the first instructor to unravel the mystery of fly casting to the point of pioneering a set of mechanics. These were presented in her book, Joan Wulff's Fly Casting Techniques (1987). She is also the author of Joan Wulff's Fly Fishing: Expert Advice from a Woman's Perspective (1991), and Joan Wulff's Fly Casting Accuracy (1997).
If you're going to get one casting book, get this one, period! - Fly Rod & Reel; Joan Wulff's New Fly-Casting Techniques is a bible for fly fishers around the world who wish to perfect the art of fly casting and understand the techniques and mechanics so as to master them. With clear instruction aided by very useful diagrams, this is definitely a book all fly anglers should have on their shelves. - Paul Sharman, Fish & Fly; This is a thoroughly practical manual, with Wulff's wisdom adroitly counterbalanced by numerous diagrams from illustrator David Shepherd, as well as photographs of the author throughout her rich life in fishing ... the combination of crisp text and illustrations makes this a very absorbable read ... Highly recommended. -- Jeffrey Prest * Trout Fisherman *
