Are you blind? Do you think maybe the impact is for a reason or the flies she is using are heavy? Speak for yourself. Your cast is horrible if you can cast at all! That's why she is famous and you aren't!
She is really charming, but her casting is horrible! Every cast ends with an impact. As I wrote on another clip: Brown Trouts in the USA must have learned not to be shy. William
netfischer, as your name implies, stick to your casting nets. If you think that you can cast a fly as well as Ms Wulff, in one month, please by all means let us know who you really and where your next demonstrations will be so us novices can come and watch. I may be able to learn something from you 60+ ft casts that you have learned in a little over a month. Basketball is not a complicated game or quantum physics either. Are you a pro-basketball player also?
but for the other fishermen; dont let someone unsettle u, just cast the line as it works for u, go out there, enjoy nature catch some fish and most important: have a great time at the water !
I dont get the mystification of flyfishing in general or fly casting in particular. Fly casting relies on very simple mechanics and not quantum-theory or something, its not complicated at all. And if something is simple that also implies that it isnt an art neither a science. I believe that nearly anyone is able to learn to do a flycast that catches fish within a day, a decent flycast within a week (precise and 60ft+) and nearly master it within a month. If u want FF to be an art, thats okey
I've taken joan's class before in the catskills. She sure has influenced many people in the sport. She just couldn't believe it when I joined the ASF and attended one of their banquet in Manhattan at the Metropolitan Club. Only thing I didn't like at the time, was the way her school promotes only their style as the correct. Not true in my opinion. Joan's technique is cool but there are many of which all have their finer points. HUGE HISTORY THERE!
people who think the title was misspelled are idiots: 'Herstory' is a both a double entendre and a pun, therefore making it a triple entendre...? I know that youtube comments are a wasteland of human stupidity, but come one people -think before you type.
Joan was and is a wonderful caster, however she is no Steve Rajeff, Tim Rajeff or even Bill Ward. Steve won the world championships at age 16, today he is 52 and never been beat!!!
Love how you said "Invented" truth be told they studied under some of the best flyfishermen in the world....here another of their "inventions" the riffling hitch..just one of many techniques learned in newfoundland its actual name...The portland hitch named for the river where Lee had his summer cottage not downing them, they relayed many effective techniques thru their books and movies to the world and showed flyfishing for what it truly was,not an elitist sport....cheers
i have guided many a fisherman who spoke of their casting class ,even had them that taught that said "keep your body still moving only your forearm,look at these locals they have no technique" LMAO...this lovely lady is clearly demonstrating THIS IS FALSE,here In newfoundland with a fly fishing tradition of hundreds of years you will never see a rigid casting local and half the town fishes before breakfast here where i live..
fantastic, some amazing casts. Those of you who have bagged this video remember the next time you cast with your high modulus graphite rod most of Joans casts are using very old tech fibreglass and cane with low tech line.
well said there man...those high tech rods do nothing for your skills...i live where lee Wolff cut his teeth on Atlantic Salmon...The Northern Peninsula Of Newfoundland...MANY of the local fishermen still use only the old fashioned fiberglass rods and cheeper Floatline...I actualy Guide On the rivers Both he and she loved best ...another point ide like to make MANY of the techniques the wolffs promoted were learned here watching local casters.
My favorite small stream rod in my 1973-75? Fenwick 7 1/2 6wt , but i use 4 wt on it now . You cab;t beat fiberglass for loading and casting short cast on small streams . I good fly caster can cast anything , bamboo ,fiberglass a 10.00 rod or 700,00 rod .
I can not believe how aggressive the comments are on this page. Seems to be a weird kind of jealousy. Anyway Im just getting into fly casting all I can say is that this woman is not only a real pro but a very sexy eloquent gal. I stand in respect.
No I am just kidding. We have to remember that she was one of those inventing most of what we know today. Yes, she works her body lots, but she also cast very long and with grace.
some fishers are a little stuck-up learn some humility.
I bet they're men, ha ha Ha!
I love her posture though i though it was a little bit weird but I am in no position to criticize because my fly casting in general sucks and man she can cast.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Her right hand is drifting too high on her dackcast and her tendancy to lean forward after her forward stroke will give her backache ! The greatest fly caster in history...I dont think so !
wow
