On February 26, 1925, Lefty Kreh was born in Frederick, MD. He went on to become the most recognizable fisherman in the world. He revolutionized the sport both in equipment and technique and he was a member of the Potomac Valley Fly Fishers!

In October 2023, the Friends of Lefty Kreh, a group founded by PVFF, unveiled “The Lefty Sculpture” located IN Culler Lake, in Baker Park, in Downtown Frederick, created by internationally renowned artist, Toby Mendez. Since its unveiling, the Sculpture has become a local and national icon.

While February may not be the best weather for fly fishing, we’re going to get together to remember Lefty and dream of warmer weather. We are gathering by the Sculpture on Thursday, February 26 from 10 a.m. to noon, to commemorate his birthday with coffee and donuts.

No registration is needed but please show up and enjoy fellowship with your fellow anglers. Andy’s buying. :)
