Produktbeschreibung

Like taking a private lesson with the best teacher in the world of fishing, this fly-casting guide offers step-by-step instructions to over forty casts.

Casting should be nearly effortless. If you understand fly-casting mechanics and how to adapt them to various fishing conditions, your casting will greatly improve. That has been Lefty's philosophy since he began teaching fly casting over fifty years ago. Lefty shows how to get rid of a tailing loop, throw a slack-line cast, and roll cast better, as well as casts for tight quarters, in wind, casting with weighted flies and lines, and distance casts. A section on the physical movements explains how to prevent injuries to the rotator cuff and elbow. Whether you fish salt water or streams, heavy rods or light, you'll learn everything from small changes in movements that greatly improve your casting to totally new takes on traditional casts from this book. Lefty is the master, and this book captures his lifetime of wisdom on the subject of casting.

"Lefty Kreh is well known for his quick smile and sharp wit, his encyclopedic knowledge of knots and tackle, his decades of fly-fishing exploration around the globe, and his remarkable prowess with a fly rod, but his greatest gift to fly fishers is his role as a teacher and mentor." -John Randolph
