About this title

Synopsis

A fly fishing guide for women discusses tackle, fly selection, clothing, casting, reading water, and developing skills to compensate for lesser physical strength

Reviews

Wulff, one of the world's great fly-casters and author of Joan Wulff's Fly Casting Techniques (Nick Lyons Bks., 1987) offers a woman's perspective on angling. Her expert advice on companionship, clothing, tackle, casting, wading, reading water, approach, presentation, and playing and landing fish is clearly presented in a pleasurable anecdotal style. Conservationist ethic suffuses her work, as well as a belief that one is in "the trout's world" when outdoors. Her late husband Lee, author of Trout on a Fly ( LJ 10/15/86), was the first to promote the "catch and release" philosophy back in 1936. Though any beginning or intermediate fly fisher can profit from this book, women will appreciate its focus on the positive influences of women's fishing. For all angling collections.
