Synopsis

Lefty Kreh is one of America's best-known fly fishers, and in this handbook he has distilled his decades of fly-casting wisdom into a compact, illustrated guide on the best way to cast. Using his years of experience teaching novice and expert fly fishers alike, Lefty shows: the modern fly-casting method illustrated from the front, side and overhead; the effects of bending the wrist during the acceleration; the baseball throw cast; the single water haul and double water haul; and common casting problems and solutions. There are over 100 pen-and-ink drawings by award-winning illustrator Rod Walinchus that show every detail of each method, as well as full-colour photographs by the author.
