So touching to see Lefty as we all remember him: cheerful, wonderful sense of humor and especially his knowledge. We miss you and celebrate your life, Mr Kreh. Thank you Flip. Hugs from Mexico City.
Wow, this brings back a ton of childhood memories. Growing in Western NC, watching Walker's Cay Chronicles was such an exciting time for me. I never had much luck meeting people I grew up watching, trying to emulate, etc. Flip has always been one of those people. Never spent much time in Florida as my career in the Marines took me away from the East Coast. I have recently decided to get into fly fishing, and really take the time to learn from the best. After finding Brian Flescheg at Mad River Outfitters, and seeing Flip in his video's I decided to search and low n behold here is the page. Flip, sir, thank you for all the memories. Wishing you all the best.
Hope you are enjoying fly casting. I decided to years ago just for panfish, bass ect. I lived on a large shallow lake in SE. NC and would wade taking only my fly rod. Then finding Flip on TV and buying video seasons I increased my finesse and distance. Nothing beats a lb blue bream ( blue gill) copperheads on a 3 wt. Tight lines.
Like theropy just watching this show. The opening alone gets me motivated every time. Every episode is sharing an experience. Watched every episode many times since I was a boy. I guess I will watch them many more. My winter time fix when I am not fishing.
Flip, Lefty , Jose and Stu taught me to fly fish. I learned from the best. I can't throw a fly as far or make it as pretty as they can but I catch what I fish for. It can be intimidating at first but nothing beats fighting a fish with them. Flip doesn't really give instructions but watching and listening you can learn especially when you get comfortable and wanna get better. Thanks Flip . RIP Lefty , Stu and Jose.
Best casters on the planet, learned so much from reading and watching Lefty and you cast a fly. So smooth and on target. Thank you for curing my tennis elbow from bad casting!
That was awesome! I might be able to sleep now after seeing the best fly angler I can think of getting rejected by a carp. Ive tried getting a carp maybe four times now, and still dont have one on the board, its so hard!!!! This is really gonna help me with getting back out there again this weekend though 👍🙏. Thank you legends Flip and Lefty. Im hummulated for sure by trying this game hahaha
I have an eternal respect for both of these men and have lived next to the Susquehanna my entire life. Times have gotten tough with the smallmouths and perhaps Lefty has sent a wink from the other side to a forlorn smallie fisherman. This video was a wonderful treat, thank you!
For some reason I had never seen this episode or I would have started chasing carp many year ago. Not many carp here close regretfully and I am too old to travel an hour or so any more. In East Central Indiana even the smaller creeks have a good population of commons but no much around here fo some reason. Lots of various sunfish and smb though. I love these films being land locked they were my main contact with the salt
Sure wish I could have fished with Lefty. It's hard to believe that he actually tied a bad knot (probably the only time) but typically, he humbly took it in stride - "I wrote a book about knots, maybe I should write another one!" There will never be another Lefty.
Interesting symbiotic relationships fish have with other fish species. I fly fish for Atlantic Salmon in shallow water during the fall on the Great Lakes. Those Atlantics push schools of minnows in water that is half s foot deep and walleyes take advantage of that by aggressively gorging on those minnows. The walleye know exactly what distance to keep from the salmon and when to make their move..

Two friends having a great time is what it’s all about, true legends🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Flip you're a class act. Met you with my dad at ICAST in 2018. Your intro to Walker's defines angler's moto to perfection.
"Rocks don't swim" Sweetheart of a man!
RIP Lefty

Magic amigo. We had a chance to get ahold of some carp via the cicada hatch a few weeks ago. My 11 year old son was spellbound.
Number one Flip your the best fish on…..
“I wrote a book on knots...” LOL. This is so similar to my first time fly fishing for carp...
Thanks for the upload flip! I just started fly fishing and I hope to meet you one day! Take care!

Sure do miss seeing you fish on major tv. But this works for me
What a lovely guy Lefty was he reminds me of Lee Trevino with his friendliness and humour

Two gentlemen truly enjoying their time together!
Two gifted men to the fly fishing world RIP lefty God bless

Such wonderful content, ohhhh to be young again.

Hot mudders! So great. Thank you, sir!
Best fishing buddies ever Lefty epitomized the humane angler everyone wants for a dad or an uncle
Thank you !

Lefty, what a peach of a guy, very missed by all who love to cast a fly...
What a honor to be poled by lefty
Hopefully he does a reunion at the new Walkers Cay!
I love carp on fly!
Oddly enough, Lefty casts with his right hand.
Thank you gentlemen 🙏. No offense Flip, to see the Master showing that beautiful cast, go to 18:02.
RIP Lefty.

I had never seen this episode. Thanks for sharing it.
-What’s the tyer/name flie ?
Thanks
How old is this?
The Chronicles first aired 9/5/92 but I couldn't pin down this episode. Could have been in 1993 but probably not after 1999.
Uhhhm, you know you can just weigh it in the net right? 😂
