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.
Thank you for hosting Brenda! It was a wonderful night of delicious food, fly box organization and fun!
Knot tying practice and leader creation for indicator, streamer, dry and tightline. Everyone will walked away with all four set ups ready to go and fish. Materials and flies and storage system included.
Dena was an amazing host. We swapped equipment, balanced casting rigs, found and repaired holes in waders. We even designed a Wulffies logo and ordered a few shirts. :et Amy know if you are interested in some Wullfies gear!
What an adventure! So many giant bass on the float and fly method. Ryan is such a great guide and fun person. We had a blast! Highly recommend this trip. It will be a repeat for sure!
Always a great time with the amazing certified casting instructor, Sarah Trenschel. Sarah is absolutely the epitome of a skilled caster, amazing teacher and wonderful person. Thanks for leading the women's group morning welcome!
The stay at the cabin was amazing. The fishing was off the hook. A sad goodbye to the Trout Spot as it is closing its doors. Thanks to Dena for hosting and for everyone that attended!
Such fun fishing for bluegill and crappie. Thanks to Nancy for all the water safety materials. Thanks to Brenda for a delicious lunch and thanks to Dena for tying safety grab ropes on everyone's vessels. The wind gave us a chance to experience some real-world fishing conditions and everyone caught some fishies!
Bryce showed us why this is a women's favorite once again! All the participants had a fantastic time catching fish and having fun! We switched to an early start time to avoid the heat but the small mouth still showed up for awesome topwater blowups all day long!
About 40 women from all over California showed up for this awesome day at Golden Gate Casting and Angling Ponds. There was an amazing potluck, casting fun and lots of connections made!
Our own queen of Tenkara will lead us on an outing to Clark's Fork where Dena will lay out her collection of Tenkara style rods for everyone to try.
Let's repeat the fun we had last year wit Bryant from Eco Adventures. This outing will involve a guide fee of $200 for a full day of guiding on Saturday including personalized lunch and transportation. This is one of our most popular women's outings and we have space for 8 participants with 4 spots already filled. Contact Mary at 209-598-4856 for more information or to sign up. There is also a lodging option for an additional fee- just ask Mary about it. The non-guided days we will explore local waterways we have fished in the past by traveling in pairs or small groups. 2024 DFF waiver and current fishing license required. Open to any interested female angler regardless of club affiliation or experience.
We are heading back to Bridgeport and we will explore the area and fish with Andrew Sears from Walker River Outfitters. Mary has the schedule ironed out and Andrew will be guiding Wulffies for 3 consecutive days! We will be staying at the Virginia Creek Settlement. Make your reservations if you want to join us!
Gilligan will guide us through a clinic with the opportunity for a guided day available the second day. Leo has graciously offered for us to use his cabin as lodging. This will involve a guide fee for the clinic and, if you opt for a guided day, a fee for that.
Winter is the time to work on your tying skills and we will have a super supportive, low stress instruction in basic tying skills as well as some yummy food. Come and join the fun- no need for tools or supplies. Tools to borrow will be available and all supplies provided.
DFF will be hosting a fly tying day and we will incorporate some women's activities and resources.
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!
Our morning at Rancho Seco was a beautiful and mild day. Everyone made sure they have grab ropes and practiced getting in and out of their float tubes. The boat ramp area and warm water made practicing getting in and out and recovery casts safe for all participants. The anglers then roped in the blue gill and crappie until lunch! Fun day!
The Wulffies had a great time fishing for smallmouth bass with Captains Al Schmatsky and Bryce Tedford. The day started early with coffee and pastries as the first group of anglers hit the water. Most morning action was subsurface with the anglers bringing fish into the boats. The first group’s half day ended and the second group hit the water, finding the warming water temperatures conducive to topwater action. Dena whipped out her Tenkara and caught some fish on this fun rod- We discovered if you want to put a bend in a rod, you should catch bass on a Tenkara! The day ended with yummy Mexican food at the marina restaurant. There is a reason this is one of our most popular women’s outings- because fish are caught and fun is had! This will definitely be on our calendar for 2024!
This was an amazing trip! We had 7 anglhers adventure to Yosemite. Friday included a guided adventure with three separate fishing spots with Bryant from Eco Adventures. Fish and fun were had by all. Day 2 of fishing led us to Carlon Creek where our anglhers put their new skills to the test catching wild and planted trout. Sunday morning wrapped up at Rainbow Pools with some tougher fishing in a beautiful setting. This one was what dreams are made of! Already planning next year!
September 10th: Women's Outing- Adventures in Narnia! We headed up Hwy 80 to the North Fork Campgrounds for a dry fly adventure. Fishing was tough but the setting was gorgeous and our charcuterie style lunch was delicious. Thanks to all who took the drive and explored this beautiful spot!
This was an amazing trip! So many fish were caught. So much water was explored. So much fun was had. Special thanks to Andrew Sears of Walker River Outfitters for two amazing days guiding our anglhers to amazing fish on the Walker River!
What a gorgeous day we had in San Francisco at the Golden Gate Casting and Angling ponds. So much was learned and so much fun was had!
Delta Fly Fishers actively seeks to support all anglers on the water! We have a very supportive membership and a growing group of women anglers that enjoy being on the water and helping others develop their skills and outdoor opportunities.

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!

July 7-8: The women's Yosemite outing was a blast! We spent the first day of the outing in the valley taking in the sites as we rode bikes around fishing. We found some fish above Happy Isles! 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!
