It was during this time that Kreh, Joe Brooks, Al Pflueger, Tom McNally, George Hommel, Stu Apte and Bob Stearn's pioneered the techniques, deviating from the classic "Ten to Two" casting technique,[6] that modern saltwater anglers use to pursue fish with fly fishing gear.
[11] In 2010, the first "Lefty Kreh Flyfishing Challenge Course" was created as the centerpiece of instruction at HomeWaters University, which is located in Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania.
A historical journey of Lefty's instruction can be found in the [12] Loop Publication (April–July 2017) which is published by Fly Fishers International.
The piece is a reflection in Lefty's words about his life teaching and instructing fly casting with an interview by Mac Brown.
[13] Kreh has served a number of years as Senior Advisor to Trout Unlimited, the Federation of Fly Fishers.
Lefty was inducted with [14] Mac Brown in the category of recreation into the [15] Fly Fishing Museum of Southern Appalachia Hall of Fame in 2018.
The show is shot on location on the coast of Belize and the Bahamas and features the cast teaming up with local guides.
The focus of the show is to draw attention to the efforts of The Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, a conservation and research organization dedicated to the preservation of the two warm climate saltwater gamefish species.
[16] A fishing access trail along the Gunpowder Falls in Baltimore County, Maryland is named after Kreh.
The waterway, which has undergone extensive habitat restoration to become a premier cold water trout fishery, is only a few miles from Kreh's home.
