Lefty Kreh's Four Best Summer Fly Fishing Trips

April 27, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

Lefty Kreh picks Manitoba (pike), Narragansett Bay (stripers and bluefish), Los Roques (bonefish) and central Pennsylvania as his choices for best places to fly fish this summer. “Los Roques is a destination for expert fly fishermen. Situated about 80 miles off the coast of Venezuela, the island offers some of the best bonefishing in the world, and pretty good tarpon and permit fishing as well. It’s mostly wading, so you need to be in good physical shape.” (We concur, but offer fair warning to Venezuelan travelers: street violence continues to increase there, so we suggest taking the plane to Los Roques directly from Maiquetia airport and not making side trips to Caracas or elsewhere.)
