Casting

Jim made this 16mm instructional film in 1975 and it was used by Fenwick and later by L.L. Bean. A pioneer in modern rod materials, Jim Green invented the patented Feralite ferrule for Fenwick. Jim also made significant contributions to two-handed and tournament fly casting. Jim authored the book, Fly Casting- from the beginning, 1971. Jim passed away in 2004. In his memory we annually celebrate him at the Jimmy Green International Spey-O-Rama at the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
