Classy Casting August 29, 2000

Joan is a Master at her art. I wish I had been able to attend a casting school like Joan's prior to having taken up fly fishing. Her video helped me recognize some of my blatant mistakes, and how to polish other pieces of my casting form. The recommendations for practicing add life and fun to the activity - thank you Joan. The video tape teaches every advance cast I've ever heard of and although Joan makes them all look simple, she intentionally "messes up" just as we would do and then explains and demonstrates where the mistake occurs. In short it is an excellent video that is worthy of reviewing numerous times. I'm certain anyone who watches and follows this tape will improve their casting. My only disappoint is that I didn't get to actually fish with such a Classy Caster!
A Teachers Heart! January 26, 2001

This video is absolutely wonderful for beginner fly fisher/casters because it helps them to understand the principles of casting and avoids getting into bad habits from the start. It's just as great for intermediate and advanced casters because it helps refine and hone good habits and style. The tape can take you from the basic substance of fly casting to the advanced angling techniques needed to put your fly on target. If you are fishing the most difficult spring creeks for trout or attempting breezy saltwater flats for bonefish, viewing and applying Joan's instructions will have you ready and confident to catch fish on a fly in any circumstances. The First Lady of fly fishing not only demonstrates the mechanic's needed to be a successful angler and fly caster but also exhibits a delightful sense of humor, making the learning process fun. I am a Federation of Fly Fishers Master Certified Casting Instructor and I highly recommend this video to all my students.Wanda Taylor Fly Logic Pro Team Director Taylor & Taylor Fly Fishing Schools

I think this video works on many different levels. First, it is a wonderful introduction to the grace and elegance of fly fishing by one of its masters. Joan Wulff is so tiny and her casts are so huge that you know you are dealing with a special instructor when you watch her lessons. The background on the origins of fly fishing is fun, too. Second, this tape is a great instructional tape on the art of casting. You can find all the answers to those casting problems that have bugged you for so long. The DVD version makes it easier to watch key casting tips over and over again. Give a tape or DVD to a novice for a great introduction into the magical world of fly fishing. Keep one for yourself for an easy reference for all your casting problems. Play it for your relatives during the holidays because even non fly fishers find this tape entertaining. Available in both VHS and DVD, it is a classic.
If you can't learn it from Joan Wulff - forget about it. January 16, 2003

Joan Wulff is, in my opinion, one of the very few true authorities on the physics and dynamics of flycasting. Her teaching style is clear and concise, and her methods for understanding what is happening with your flyline makes it all come together very successfully. To top it off, how can you not like Joan Wulff? What a great lady! This is a VHS or DVD that is money well spent if you want to learn to cast, get out of some bad habits, or imoprove your skills.
