I like to tell people that I fished with Joan Wulff. I stopped by the Orvis store in Manchester Vermont years ago, and out back they have a small pond with two casting platforms. I was casting a 4Pc 5wt which I later bought, and on the platform to my right was Ms Wulff. She appeared to be giving a fly-casting lesson or demonstration to a fellow.
Cool! :ThumbsUpQuote:

I'm very familiar with Lefty. I've watched his videos, read his books, and met him at a FF show a few years ago.Quote:

"Lefty" is very good one also.
My roll cast is very weak --- I need to work on that.

Yep... you could really feel the whole rod flex, especially if you put on heavier line than what it was rated for.Quote:
