Saw this the other day.  Sad for his family, friends, and fans.  One of my favorite videos is Lefty doing double hauls on just the tip portion of a three piece rod!

Another great one gone.

He was a great guy and awesome casting teacher.  He was also a kind and caring individual behind a funny, cursing persona.  A guy I have fished with a few times was a friend of his.

 

I have some of his books and one of his casting videos.  I always wanted to get to meet him... he was one of the all-time great ones of fly fishing, for sure.

 

Tight lines,

Bob

I was lucky enough to win a raffle a hat signed by him and supposedly a fly rod he used to teach people with. 

He lived a loooong life. RIP, Lefty.

First I've heard of his passing. Loved reading his books when I first started flyfishing and from everything I've heard it sounds like he was a great guy. RIP and thank you for the education.

One of the best.  An era draws to a close.
