The bible for salt water flyfishing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
What Lefty Kreh did with saltwater fly fishing was nothing short of revolutionary. It's easy enough to walk to the nearest store and buy saltwater gear and flies now, but Lefty helped pioneer the genre and many of the flies we now enjoy - including the Lefty's Deceiver. Lefty writes the way he speaks in public; generous, affable and full of infectious energy. No serious angler's library is complete without this book. I first read this book in college in South Florida in the early 90s. Unable to afford bait, I took an old fiberglass fly rod out and following this book's advice, caught snook, reds, trout and even juvenile tarpon and hammerheads. If you like this book, (and you will) you should also pick up Lefty's DVDs on tying.
As usual; Lefty at his best.

As usual; Lefty at his best. Another book where Lefty has the ability to teach and simplify with the written word and short stories like few others in the sport. I highly recommend all his books.
Tons of useful information

I am a beginner in the sport of saltwater fly fishing. Lefty covers all the bases with the book. He explains choices of equipment. I was ready to hit the water after finishing this book in a few days.
Always the teacher

Lefty is a unique treasure for fly fishers. He is full of experience, eager to share it, and able to communicate his wisdom. Unlike more typical fly fishing writers who specialize in conveying mood and meaning, such as Lyons, Gierach, and Weatherell, Lefty's books make you want to be there because you are now armed with so much useful information. I can't wait to delve into ocean flyfishing for the first time.
