Saltwater Fly-Casting Techniques, by Lefty Kreh

Lefty Kreh is probably the most widely known and well respected saltwater fly anglers on the planet. He has written hundreds of articles, authored countless books, and was teaching fly casting long before most saltwater anglers were off creamed peas. Kreh's body of work is extensive and the knowledge he shares through writing and teaching has been earned through many decades of trial and error on the water. Kreh's fly casting book, Saltwater Fly-Casting Techniques is a good example of his thorough but no-nonsense approach to angling. Saltwater Fly-Casting Techniques offers solutions for many of the unique challenges saltwater anglers routinely face, including mastering the double hall, casting in the wind, handling weighted flies, and managing fly line. Kreh's familiar concise text is accompanied by clear, simple, line drawings that make sense. I especially enjoyed Lefty's tips for keeping loose fly line out of trouble (believe me I have choked more than one cast under pressure). Regardless of how you perceive your level of skill, I think you will learn something new from Saltwater Fly-Casting Techniques. I highly recommend it.
