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.

Best Kreh book on casting

Customer Rating:

This is easily Lefty's best casting book. Very informative and comprehensive guide on Lefty's style of casting covering many different types of casts and casting situations. One of the great things about this book is that it shows each type of cast from several angles so you can see the positioning of the arm, hands, body, etc. Have not counted all of the photos but there are a bunch! The only thing I can think of to improve the book would have been strategically placed illustrations clarifying some of the text and photographs. Otherwise a great book on casting--not quite like having Lefty right beside you but as close as one can get in a book.
