Left Kreh

Just read the Lefty Kreh passed away today. I wish I would have met him as I've heard he was a pleasure to be around with great stories and jokes to go with all that talent. RIP Mr. Kreh.

He lived a pretty interesting life, including surviving exposure to anthrax!

Here’s a link to an in-depth obit in the NYTmes:

I sat down at my bench today intent on tying dragonfly nymphs and ended up tying some all white decivers instead.  Seemed appropriate.

I have a copy of his Fishing Knots book, that has the added bonus of his signature in the front couple pages that I didn't notice when I picked it up. Probably gonna pass that one down one day. Ken from Springbrook had some pretty cool stories about him the last time I stopped in there also.  RIP

I also have an autographed "Fishing Knots" by Lefty. Picked up a 5W Lefty Kreh Signature Series rod a few years back at a Trout Unlimited dinner/auction as well.

RIP Lefty Kreh
