Wendy Gunn

Wendy is considered to be one of the top women anglers in the world. She has held many IGFA world records both fresh and saltwater. All her saltwater records were prior to the splitting of categories into separated men's and women's divisions. Her records include fly caught striped marlin...136-lbs., wahoo etc.

She won the 2000 Women's world invitational fly fishing tarpon tournament in Islamorada FL.


Wendy was the fly fishing host for the television series Fishing the West and Americas Outdoor Journal. She is the current co-host for Fly Fish Television Magazine which airs weekly on The Outdoor Life Network.

Wendy has won the women's Best of the West casting competition in San Mateo CA. eight out the nine past events. In 2002 she won the Best of the West finals (the first year she competed) in Salt Lake City and won the grand prize....a Hyde drift boat. Wendy was the first woman to cast over 100-ft. with a 5-weight rod in a sanctioned competition; her cast was 104' 7".

Wendy competed in the first Great Outdoor Games in Lake Placid.

Wendy has appeared at sports shows and flyfishing clubs across the country teaching and demonstrating casting and fly tying.

Photographs of Wendy have appeared in most of the outdoor magazines, calendars, books and brochures.
