is the most respected professional Angler in Today's Angling world. Lefty has been Fly Fishing for more than six decades. World known fly tier, author of many books in all phases of angling. Lecturer. Designer of many types of Fly Fishing tackle. He has fished all corners of the earth and has appeared in many angling books and magazines with many of the greatest names in the industry.
