Lefty Kreh is in the fly shop at Bass Pro Baltimore today. He's signing
books and just sitting down and chatting with folks.

On knots: He no longer fishes the improved clinch to attach fly to tippet.
He has gone to the slip knot

test or over, 5 turns for under 5 lb test. He demonstrated the strength
against the improved clinch, each time, the clinch broke, but not the slip.

Looks similar to a Uniknot or even Orvis knot, I believe...

On young women in red cars: Dangerous, they'll run you over.
On the "Kreh Number": He'd never heard of it, and thought it was rather
funny.
We are fast approaching a time where we won't have the innovative likes of
Kreh, Clouser, Wulff, Bruce and the rest. I hope someone's taking notes and
getting all this info down.

Already done, ya just have to buy their books ;-)
