Synopsis

Lefty Kreh is arguably the world's best-known fly fisher, and in MODERN FLY-CASTING METHODS he has distilled his decades of fly-casting wisdom into a compact, thoroughly illustrated guide on the best way to cast. Using his years of experience teaching novice and expert fly fishers alike, Lefty shows:

Ø The modern fly-casting method illustrated from the front, side, and overhead
Ø The effects of bending the wrist during the acceleration

Ø The single water haul and double water haul
Ø Common casting problems and solutions

MODERN FLY-CASTING METHODS includes over a hundred pen-and-ink drawings by award-winning illustrator Rod Walinchus that show every detail of each method, as well as dozens of gorgeous full-color photographs by the author. Few great fly casters are able to explain their intuitive skill. In this compact gem, one of the greatest casters and casting teachers shows anglers of all skill levels the best way to cast.
