Review:
I've long been a fan of Lefty Kreh. In my view he's the best when it comes to casting a fly line and to teaching others how to do it. I've had lessons from the best of British and seen the best in action, but Lefty Kreh casts with a fluidity that makes a less than average caster like me want to throw up with envy. He has a languid, casual style that goes in the face of the distance and accuracy he can achieve with a fly line. This book is expensive at £30, but that doesn't mean it isn't value for money. It is. It's a big, big book. Out of curiosity I weighed it and the finger on the scales crept past the 4lb mark. The content matches the weight; it's heavy with top quality text and photographs. It was another book of Lefty Kreh's I read some years ago that gave me the kick I needed to improve my casting. It was he who explained the principles and mechanics of a fly cast that gave me the insight I needed to know what to work on. This book explains all that and a hell of a lot more besides. I defy any fly fisherman to read it and not improve his casting as a result. rating: 10/10 --www.fishingmagic.com
Lefty explains more than 40 different types of cast, all of them beautifully illustrated. What's more, there are hundreds of photos showing how not to cast. More importantly, Lefty shows that there is no such thing as a fish that is impossible to cast to. If ever a book could claim to be definitive, this is it. --Shooting and Conservation
