Lefty Kreh's original edition of Fly Fishing in Salt Water
pioneered a new territory for fly fishers. With over thirty
thousand copies sold and the content fully updated, revised, and
expanded, this third edition is the saltwater fly fisher's bible,
based on firsthand experience by an acknowledged master. In clear,
practical terms and with helpful photographs and line drawings,
Lefty Kreh's Fly Fishing in Salt Water treats the techniques needed
to catch all the major saltwater species--bonefish, tarpon, striped
bass, bluefish, salmon, permit, snook, sharks, cobia, tuna,
billfish, and more. The book shows how to fish from boats and how
to wade the flats, and fully explains all the tackle needed and how
to use it for specific jobs--the rods, the lines and leaders, and
the flies (shown in full color). Lefty provides superb advice about
how to make the long casts necessary for fishing the fly in salt
water, how to "tease" sailfish and other large fish to within
fly-casting range, how to chum, and how to tie the necessary knots
for saltwater fishing. Chapter topics include Knots and Leaders,
Flies, Tackle, Inshore Fly Fishing, and Boats.
Travel the globe with Lefty Kreh as he shares his most memorable
fishing trips - his best cast ever for tarpon, twin Atlantic salmon
on two successive casts that both weighted an amazing 37 pounds,
Niugini black bass so strong you have to pull them from the brush
with a boat, 'machine-gun' bass-bugging for machaca on the Rio
Colorado, and, of course, the one that got away. Though not all
these tales are about great catches, there is plenty of adventure
as Kreh tell about the time he and his boatmates thwarted bandits
in Costa Rica on a sailfish trip or the time he was chased from a
prime bluegill pond by dogs. But whether about the best trips or
the worst ones, reeling in a trophy fish or fly fishing for the
bait, these stories show a man with a deep passion for fishing, and
perhaps more important, the friendships and discovery that often
accompany it.
Field & Stream Magazine called this essential book: 'The
longtime bible of knots and knot tying.' It has now sold 150,000
copies. A second edition included new lines and leaders, new knots,
and new nomenclature. Now, in this latest edition, we have added
colour to the exceptionally clear line illustrations by Rod
Walinchis, making this book a must for all fishermen - fresh and
saltwater, fly, bait, and spinning - who want the clearest possible
instructions on how to tie all the essential knots that hold.
Inshore salt waters offer a host of varied environments - and

book, master fly angler Lefty Kreh shows you how to fish the long
wand for all the major inshore species, offering invaluable,

all - and covers boats, stripping baskets, the striper's multiple

The best fishing in any given location is seldom a secret, and as
more and more anglers fish in such areas, the trout often become
fussy eaters. "Educated" trout often focus solely on the small but
plentiful aquatic insects that are often overlooked by the average
fly fisher. Although some anglers are under the impression that
small flies are difficult to fish, or that big fish won't take
small flies, nothing could be further from the truth. With small
flies and Larry Tullis's expert advice, an angler can catch these
large and selective trout. In Small Fly Techniques, Larry Tullis
shows how easy small fly fishing can be as he covers: trout feeding
behavior and its relationship to small fly fishing; distinguishing
between "educated" and "uneducated" trout; where to find strike and
drift zones; understanding trout foods; how to select the best
small fly patterns; how to best utilize your tackle; and much
more.
Small Fly Techniques is filled with clear, concise illustrations by
noted angling illustrator Rod Walinchus and gorgeous full color
photographs showing the best flies to use and where to fish them.
Any fly angler who has ever been frustrated by picky trout should
have this must-read book.
There is very little luck involved in successful fly fishing. All
anglers can dramatically improve their chances of catching fish if
they arm themselves with the fundamentals. In Fly-Fishing
Techniques & Tactics, Lefty gives sound, practical, and
effective information you can use on your very next fishing trip,
no matter where you're going or what species of fish you're after.
Read Lefty's priceless advice about: how to prepare tackle for
every circumstance; finding fish at the right place and at the
right time; tips for approaching from shore, wading, or in a boat;
how to make the right presentation; the most effective retrieve or
drift; how to fight and release fish and much more. (5 x 7 1/2, 160
