The best fly-casting book from the best fly-caster around. If you buy only one book on fly-casting, make it this one. "Learn how to cast from a master. Over 40 casts covered in step-by-step detail in over 1200 full colour photographs. ...Casts include the sidearm and overhead casts, hauling, roll cast, reach cast, casts for tight quarters, wind and weighted flies and lines, and distance casts. Lefty also teaches the mechanics of casting, and a section on the physical movements explains how to avoid injuries." "The dean of fly casting, Lefty Kreh without question has had more influence on modern fly casting techniques than anyone. Lefty's style is easy to learn, and as always, he is pure and precise with his instructions. This is a must-have book for all who want to improve their casting." (Cathy and Barry Beck). "Lefty Kreh has had wider and deeper influence upon the sport of fly fishing than any individual in generations, perhaps ever. This book, the consummate work on fly casting, exhibits the range of his talen and knowledge, as well as his skill as an instructor. Kreh goes from casting fundamentals to advanced techniques and dealing with difficult fishing situations, even analyzing tennis elbow and rotator cuff problems. This book helps any angler who uses a single-handed rod, at any level, whether fishing for trout or tarpon, sunfish or salmon. Comprehensive and clear, Casting with Lefty Kreh eclipses every book on the subject to date." (Ed Jaworowski). This is a copy of the 2008 first edition published by Stackpole Books.
