Modern Fly-Casting Methods

When one of the greatest casting instructors in the history of fly fishing decides to distil a lifetime of knowledge into a single volume, the result is a book worth owning. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern fly fishing, Lefty Kreh helped revolutionise fly casting and taught generations of anglers how to cast farther, more accurately and with less effort. In this compact but information-packed guide, he covers all the essential casts, including the double haul, distance casting, speed casting, changing direction, casting in confined spaces and coping with wind. Also discussed are loop control, line speed, shooting-head techniques, natural fly presentation and the solutions to many of the most common casting problems encountered on the water. What makes this book particularly valuable is Lefty's ability to simplify complex concepts. His relaxed, practical teaching style makes advanced casting principles accessible to anglers of all skill levels, whether learning the basics or refining a lifetime of technique. Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 detailed pen-and-ink drawings by award-winning illustrator Rod Walinchus, along with numerous full-colour photographs, this is a classic casting reference from one of fly fishing's true legends. A worthy addition to any serious angling library. Very good condition. Softcover, 19cm x 12.5cm, 143 pages.
