Casting with Lefty Kreh

Lefty Kreh

Sinossi

Like taking a private lesson with the best teacher in the world of fishing, this fly-casting guide offers step-by-step instructions to over forty casts. Casting should be nearly effortless. If you understand fly-casting mechanics and how to adapt them to various fishing conditions, your casting will greatly improve. That has been Lefty’s philosophy since he began teaching fly casting over fifty years ago. Lefty shows how to get rid of a tailing loop, throw a slack-line cast, and roll cast better, as well as casts for tight quarters, in wind, casting with weighted flies and lines, and distance casts. A section on the physical movements explains how to prevent injuries to the rotator cuff and elbow. Whether you fish salt water or streams, heavy rods or light, you'll learn everything from small changes in movements that greatly improve your casting to totally new takes on traditional casts from this book. Lefty is the master, and this book captures his lifetime of wisdom on the subject of casting. “Lefty Kreh is well known for his quick smile and sharp wit, his encyclopedic knowledge of knots and tackle, his decades of fly-fishing exploration around the globe, and his remarkable prowess with a fly rod, but his greatest gift to fly fishers is his role as a teacher and mentor.” —John Randolph

The Guv'nor In His Own Words -...

Peter Gerrard

Born in East London in 1949, Lenny McLean grew up in an area that had been ravaged by the Second World War. Although money was scarce and fighting was commonplace, a camaraderie and deep sense of honour and respect remained. A victim of violent abuse at the hands of his stepfather, Lenny spent much of his teenage life in borstal as he began to follow a life of crime. However, it was his ability as a fighter that was to turn his life around.Lenny McLean inspired fear in many, but respect from all, as he became a bare-knuckle fighting legend. His fame became even greater in later life, appearing in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels just as his autobiography was reaching the top of the bestsellers chart. Lenny's untimely death from cancer in 1998 marked the beginning of the end of the old Cockney way of life and interest in his story has only increased since his passing, inspiring documentaries as well as a feature film, My Name is Lenny.In these unedited conversations between Lenny and his 'book man' Peter Gerrard, featuring many anecdotes that did not appear in The Guv'nor, we get to see the man behind the public image. As he looks back on his life, these transcripts reveal Lenny's humour and charm as well as the volatility that made him one of the most notorious figures ever to emerge from the East End.Although the original interview tapes have been lost, this immersive audiobook has replicated Lenny and Peter's conversations as they really happened.

Mind is the Ride - A journey...

Jet McDonald

'Elegant, wild, poised and explosive' Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast
When Jet McDonald cycled four thousand miles to India and back, he didn't want to write a straightforward travel book. He wanted to go on an imaginative journey.
Mind is the Ride takes the reader on a physical and intellectual adventure from West to East using the components of a bike as a metaphor for philosophy, which is woven into the cyclist's experience. Each chapter is based around a single component, and as Jet travels he adds new parts and new philosophies until the bike is 'built'; the ride to India is completed; and the relationship between mind, body and bicycle made apparent.
The age of the travelogue is over: today we need to travel inwardly to see the world with fresh eyes. Mind is the Ride is a pedal-powered antidote to the petrol-driven philosophies of the past.

Good Enough

Aaron Victor

"Good Enough" is an intimate and compelling memoir penned by Aaron Victor, a chronicle of his personal journey towards self-acceptance. A testament to his resilience, the book meticulously depicts his transformation from being an 'unknown man' to his journey towards self-acceptance.
Aaron's narrative explores his early childhood experiences and the pressures of meeting adult expectations at a very young age. His relationship with his father forms a pivotal part of this narrative arc. Victor does not shy away from portraying the impact of his father's battle with prostate cancer on their bond. His passion for music and his arduous journey to fully embrace this talent also form significant threads in this narrative tapestry.
From touching upon episodes of bullying in his school days to the pressure of high academic expectations, Aaron has crafted an engaging narrative that examines the lasting impact of childhood experiences on an individual's self-perception. His perpetual quest for acceptance and his struggle with perfectionism underscore his internal conflict between seeking external validation and recognizing that true self-worth lies within. His quest for authenticity evolves through introspection, forgiveness, and ultimately, healing.
Aaron Victor's experiences in his personal life, including his relationships and his pursuit of his passion, form the backbone of this memoir. He shares his experiences with romantic relationships, highlighting his time in the friend zone, and how this affected his feelings of self-worth. His journey from high school to college, his struggle as a college basketball player, and his setbacks in his career, particularly a job offer that fell through, paint a vivid picture of his life's ups and downs.
