One of fly fishing’s greatest twentieth-century pioneers is none other than Joan Salvato Wulff. She has been participating in the sport for more than seventy years, and she has singularly proven that fly fishing is not just a man’s sport.
We were so looking forward to starting our year off with this indicator clinic but high flows on our local rivers have caused its cancellation.
What a fun afternoon we had! Thanks to all who came out and joined us as we answered questions and shared experiences. Looking forward to fishing with you all!
What fun we had! Eleven women turned out for a morning of casting instruction followed by lunch and and afternoon of participating in the Fly Casting Skills Development program. A special thanks to Sarah Trenschel, certified casting instructor who volunteered her time wiht us on this day. Looking forward to next year!
Always a fun time with Dena! A great group gathered at her cabin and explored the local fly shops. Saturday was One Fly Contest where fish were caught and fun was had! Love this annual event! Thanks for being such an awesome hostess Dena!

February 25th: A special thank you to all our female anglers who came out to the Fly Fishing Expo in Pleasanton! We had 10 women from our Wulffies attended. Our anglers explored the booths and took advantage of the casting lessons and casting challenge. We also had 4 anglers complete the scavenger hunt and Mary from Amador Fly Casters won the random drawing! It was great seeing everyone there. Thanks so much for coming!
March 13th: Tacos and Leader Ties! We had a great time on a small local river where the exciting highlight was Michelle catching an amazing 14 inch fish on this waterway that usually produces much smaller fish. We wrapped up this beautiful day with a taco lunch. What a wonderful time with great anglers!
April 23: Float Safety and Sandwiches: We spent the morning going through getting in and out of our float tubes and pontoons and then spent a relaxing day on the water until we shared a yummy lunch! Thanks to all who came out!

We had a late lunch/early dinner at the Ahwahnee Hotel. We spent a comfortable and relaxing evening in Coulterville and found the most delicious restaurant in Greeley Hills. Dena said it was the top 3 breakfasts of her life! We then drove to Tuolumne Meadows and everyone caught double digits fish and everyone caught the Yosemite trifecta of Brook, Brown and Rainbow trout! One angler caught over 40 fish! What fun!
