    Default A passing ...

    Apparently, Lefty Kreh passed away this morning. He was 93. He will be sorely missed.
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Betty, I'm sorry to hear that. I had the pleasure of meeting Lefty a number of times at different shows and he was always a gentleman and very willing to share is vast wealth of knowledge. Good guy that did lots of good for our sport. He will indeed be missed. Thanks for sharing this information.

    Sad news indeed. There is now a giant empty hole in the world of fly fishing.

    A good man that will be badly missed. He was certainly a giver.

    A great ambassador for the support and a great guy; he will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.

    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim

    I met Lefty several times at shows and spoke to him once briefly after a casting demo. Wonderful person. A good friend of mine and a friend of Lefty's has told me so much about him and time they shared on the water. Listening to my friend I think the fly fishing community not only lost one of their best, but we also lost one helluva a good person as well.
