A Conversation with Jay Nichols

Producer: FlyFishermanMagazine

“Jay Nichols has been an editor, publisher, photographer, videographer, and author for more than 25 years and has produced some of the most iconic and influential fly-fishing books, including Casting with Lefty Kreh (2008). In this episode, we sit down with Jay to discuss his directorial debut in the documentary Lefty: The Greatest of All Time, premiering March 27 at the Weinberg Center. The conversation starts with Jay’s upbringing, education, his journey in fly fishing, and swings into his involvement in publishing much of the great fly-fishing literature of this century. Ross and Jay also explore Jay’s decades-long relationship with Lefty, go behind the scenes in the making of the film, and learn about Lefty’s “super power.” Hint: It wasn’t his casting.”
