In the May issue of IGFA Hot News we reported about the freak accident Lefty Kreh had in February while giving a fly-casting demo in Tampa, Fla., falling from a platform and contacting all his weight on his knee, tearing the kneecap completely free. Doctors surgically reattached the cap and sutured the tendons and muscles.

Despite the accident the IGFA International Fishing Hall of Famer is back conducting the masses with his fly rod. "I'm down to using one crutch," Lefty responded to Hot News, "and if I get the thigh muscle stronger that they cut deeply to do repairs, I should be able to discard it in late July or August. That's five to six months after the accident!" Fly Fishing in Saltwaters editor Mike Mazur highlighted Kreh's comeback in the July/August issue of the magazine as Capt. Jim Freda captured photos of the always affable and popular fly-fishing educator and writer conducting a seminar.

Though he sat wearing a Velcro splint it didn't impede his lively seminar in New Jersey.
