Informationen zum Autor Joan was a National Casting Champion from 1943–1960 and pioneered a set of fly casting mechanics which were presented in her book Fly Casting Techniques . She has authored two other books and, for 22 years, wrote a casting column for Fly Rod & Reel magazine. Her instructional video, Dynamics of Fly Casting , is an ongoing success. She was elected to the IGFA Hall of Fame in 2007. Klappentext This remarkable book is for everyone who fishes with a fly rod-or wants to learn. In its first edition, Joan Wulff's Fly-Casting Techniques became an instant classic, revolutionizing the art form of fly casting and changing how an entire generation approached the sport. Now, with Joan Wulff's New Fly Casting Techniques, Joan brings her pioneering set of casting "mechanics" to a new audience, offering precise descriptive terms for every part of the cast. Sections are included on improving accuracy and distance, loop control, shooting lines, aerial mending, the double haul, correcting common mistakes, and more. With improvements and refinements on her original techniques, and with a set of extraordinary drawings by David Shepherd, this becomes the most comprehensive book ever written on fly casting.
