Fly Fishing in Salt Water

Few anglers have influenced modern fly fishing more than Lefty Kreh. Widely regarded as the father of contemporary salt water fly fishing, his casting innovations, teaching ability and writing helped introduce generations of anglers to the sport. This book remains one of the true classics of salt water fly fishing literature. Fully revised, updated and expanded, it covers everything from tackle, knots, leaders and flies to casting techniques, tides, boats and equipment care. Lefty also shares his expertise on pursuing many of the world's premier salt water species, including bonefish, tarpon, permit, snook, tuna, sharks and billfish and much more. What made Lefty such a legendary teacher is evident throughout: he had a remarkable ability to explain complex subjects in clear, practical terms. Whether discussing long-distance casting, teasing sailfish into fly range or selecting the right tackle for the job, his advice is as relevant today as when it was first written. Illustrated throughout with photographs and full-colour fly plates, this is both a superb instructional guide and one of the foundation texts of modern salt water fly fishing. An essential addition to any serious fly fishing library. Very good condition. Hardcover, 24cm x 18cm, 242 pages.
