From the Back Cover:

When fly fishing in fresh water, casting a weighted size 4 fly a distance of 35 feet can be a difficult task - but that's just the starting point when fly casting in salt water. In order for anglers to get the most out of the exhilarating sport of catching 30-pound stripers and 150-pound tarpon, they must be able to spot a fish and cast a large fly a distance of over 50 feet into the wind at a moment's notice. This is where Lefty Kreh's years of on-the-water teaching experience can make a beginning saltwater fly caster an expert, and an expert a pro. Lefty has included dozens of insightful tips that will result in more effective hookups and bigger fish. Whether a novice or a seasoned fisherman, anyone who studies this practical book will become a better caster - and a better angler. (9 x 6, 96 pages, diagrams)
