Longer Fly Casting (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

All fly fishermen want to be able to cast ten feet - or more - farther. The trout, tarpon, permit, or bass always seem at least that distance from one's best cast, and there is no adequate solution other than learning to make a longer cast.

This little handbook will help any fly fisherman - beginner to near-expert - to refine his fly-casting technique: to double-haul with more accuracy and authority and for greater distance; to cast better from boats, into the wind, when there are obstructions; to roll cast farther; to prepare one's equipment properly for longer casts. (9 X 6, 112 pages, illustrations)

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't take a video out to the practice pond / lawn., December 4, 1998

By A Customer

This is a fine little book of decent and clear line drawings of Bernard (Lefty) Kreh showing the basics. My double haul improved with just a few minutes practice of Lefty's technique. (Dad, why did you teach me to pull so hard on those hauls? I guess even fly fishing friends of famous fly fishing Michigan judges don't know all the techniques!)

5.0 out of 5 stars geat gift for anyone starting flyfishing!, November 3, 2006

If you are a flyfisherman and you are trying to convert a spin fisherman over to flyfishing. This is the book you want to get them. Easy to read, explained very well and illustrated nicely. It is essential for any novice flycaster especially those making the jump to saltwater where the waves and weather do play a factor in casting.
