5.0 out of 5 stars Sick of 30 page picture books claiming to teach flyfishing?, January 28, 2000

This is an excellent book for the beginner who's decided to take the next step. While I have fished for two years now, I have never taken the time to perfect my technique. Kreh's book propelled me forward. Now I have confidence in my abilities. Looking for more than the basics? Try this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for all levels of fly fishermen, November 30, 1999

This review is from: Advanced Fly Fishing Techniques: Secrets of an Avid Fisherman (Paperback)

There is no matter how experienced fly fisherman you are, you'll allways need to learn something more every time to be successfull in this art, and there is no better way than learn from a master's knowledge. Lefty Kreh is the Great Guru for all of us, the rest of fly fishermen. You can't find any person with his experience and generosity to tell his secrets. His success as a fly fishing writer depends on it, I'm sure of that. This book covers all main subjects with general conceptions to do it right, and lots of practical tips for any topic. My recommendation to all fly fishermen: Read Lefty Kreh, especially this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like fly fishing, you won't be able to put this down., May 30, 1998

This review is from: Advanced Fly Fishing Techniques: Secrets of an Avid Fisherman (Paperback)

I enjoyed this so much I bought his original fly casting and salt water fly fishing books as well. I have not been disappointed by any of Lefty's books. He is a true sportsman and has an knack for keeping you glued to his books. If you want something to just browse through, this won't do. You will end up keeping this book with you until you are done. At the breakfast table, during lunches at work, and reading in bed. You may even turn off that tired old television and read this book through in a few nights! An eye opener for beginning, intermediate, and advanced fly fishers. I hope he writes more books. Thank you Lefty.
