It shows how to fish from boats and how to wade the flats, and fully explains all the tackle needed and how to use it for specific jobs - the rods, the lines and leaders, and the flies (which are shown in full color) . " Introduction by Frank Woolner. 4pp color photos of flies and well over a hundred b/w illustrations, mostly photos, with some drawings. Bernard "Lefty" Kreh (1925-2018) was an American fly fisherman, photographer and fly casting instructor who resided most recently in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Kreh is most known for being one of the pioneers of saltwater fly fishing and his book, Fly Fishing in Salt Water, is considered the seminal volume on the subject. Notably Kreh survived an accidental anthrax poisoning at Fort Detrick during a post WWII civilian employment. A prolific outdoor journalist he retired as the outdoor editor of the Baltimore Sun.

Why fish salt water with a fly? Because, says Kreh, it combines the best physical and cerebral aspects of fishing and hunting, with the added complication that "no stocked fish roam the seas." Unlike trout fishing ("Trout fishing writers have always tended to complicate a rather simple sport," carps Kreh) where the angler must understand from the start that trout in a pool are relatively stationary creatures that exist only on the food available in that pool, saltwater species are fish in transit, constantly on the move, often in schools, and they gulp down anything they run into. Kreh's bible begins by engraving that difference in stone, then patiently introduces you step-by-step to the sport's basics: the necessary tackle and how to care for it, technique, fly patterns, fish behaviour, the long cast, understanding tides and where fish are likely located, and specifics of deepwater fishing, inshore fishing and fishing at sea from boats.
"The sea has always been a fascination to me, and the creatures in it offer the greatest challenge a fly rodder will ever know," writes Kreh. His unparalleled infectiousness--just look at the cover photo of the author, a happy man if ever there was one--and expertise make that challenge as reachable as it is alluring. --Jeff Silverman, Amazon.com

A note on private sales.
Often potential buyers ask for the opportunity to purchase from me directly rather than through the AbeBooks portal where they found the listing, usually for a slightly lower price. Presumably the benefit to me is some marginal savings on commissions or tax. The convenience of having all my record keeping and billing being handled through one platform outweighs any small savings. In addition, I believe the service AbeBooks provides?putting these books in front of potenti...
