Today we celebrate the 200th episode of this podcast by celebrating Lefty Kreh who passed away just a few months after we launched the Wet Fly Swing Podcast.  Lefty is the most highlighted person in the history of fly fishing so very happy to celebrate with you here.

We hear about the life story of Lefty today from Gary Reich who knew Lefty and wrote a great article at Anglers Journal on Lefty’s life.  We find out why photography was a big thing that separated Lefty early on and why Joe Brooks was so important for Lefty along the way.
