Fair winds and following winds Lefty!
Fished a lot of water he pioneered in the Everglades during my years down there. Those years were prior to GPS and Chart Plotters in small boats. Those fishing charts were originally marked by Lefty himself and run in limited production, specific to South Florida.
He made a mark along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay as well.
An absolute legend!

I read his book on saltwater fishing. Great stuff but reading about him casting 80 feet with only the tip section of the fly rod was obviously a fabrication...... until I saw him do it in person in Houston... in about a 20 mph wind. A great story teller, funny as heck and ground breaker in fly fishing.
I still use his principles of fly casting and where would my double haul be without Lefty.
