Joan Wulff: "How I Started Fly Fishing"

From the New York Times ‘s April 3, 1988 edition comes this gem in which Joan Salvato Wulff describes how her infatuation with fly fishing began: with the sudden realization that ”It’s better to be the fisherman than the rower.” “In those days there was no way I could have made my living at tournament casting, but I didn’t want to find myself happily teaching dance at age 75, without having fulfilled my fishing dreams. So I turned professional as a caster, giving sport show demonstrations, and a line manufacturer gave me part-time work as a good-will representative, calling on its Eastern dealers.

New Carp fishing Videos

I have been making carp films recently and recording videos with my CARPdiem Team and the Dynamite Baits Angler Christian Borgesson. The first of the 3 new videos is now up on The Tube. This one gives details about the Nash Monster Cradle, how to use it, why it’s better than a normal unhooking mat and how to release a fish with it. Durning filming we were lucky enough to have a run and catch an 11.5kg plus fish which made it even better. Later we had another two fish. I was lucky and managed to catch an old friend a lovely Royal Mirror of over 16kg. We made a short video with this fish wonderful carp which will come out soon. This video shows how to pick fish up and explains in Spanish why you should not lift fish up high off the ground. In the video the fish played ball and actually it does flip out of my hands. However the fish is low to the ground as it should be with the Nash Carp Cradle right below it so no damage done. You can see the first video with Christian here:
