Lefty Kreh is a born teacher, and his subject is his passion. The fly-casting instruction in this book derives from almost a half century of fishing and teaching, and no matter where you are in your fly-fishing life, from struggling beginner to the person with two rods in every weight, this book can help you do better. Lefty begins with the fundamentals common to all good casts and then goes on to diagnose and demonstrate ways to eliminate a variety of casting problems (which everyone has to one degree or another), including how to:    Tame tailing loops    Cast in the wind    Quickly and accurately change the direction of a cast    Throw a backcast that stays clear of brush    Quickly send wet flies and streamers deep with a tuck cast    Skip a fly across the water to reach under low-hanging branches    Make roll casts, effective mends, and much more No matter how good fly-fishing tackle becomes, how well you deal with the variables on the water will always be a big factor in your fishing success. For as long as you fly-fish, this book will hold the keys.  .
