Lefty Kreh passed yesterday morning, surrounded by family and friends at home, apparently peacefully and without pain or distress as his congestive heart failure finally wore him down. Our hearts go out to Lefty’s family and close friends in this time of loss, and it’s very clear from the response yesterday and today that the greater fly fishing community recognizes what a peerless contributor Lefty was during his long and illustrious career.
Tributes to Lefty are pouring in from around the world, but here’s three posted yesterday you don’t want to miss –
Flip Pallot on Lefty K in Fly Fisherman
Monte Burke in Forbes (with link to a wonderful Garden and Gun interview)
Mitch Keller at the New York Times
