If one fly fishes they probably read an array of fly fishing
magazines and buy fishing equipment and supplies from numerous tackle
magazines. Receiving magazines in the mail is like receiving a Christmas gift
every month. Some we paid a monthly subscription for and some we receive because
we purchase an item or two from their company. In either case it’s a way to add
knowledge and enjoyment to a sport we are all continuing to learn and love with
each passing season.
I receive a couple of fly fishing online publications as well as numerous free fishing magazines that includes all type fishing as well as fly fishing. I have found ordering just one tiny item from any of these companies will usually get you a free magazine for months, which is fine with me.
I always want to share with my fellow bloggers, so with this
post I thought I would give you all some insight into some publications concerning fly
fishing. I am sure most of you are familiar with some of these publications,
but as I did my research I discovered some that was new to me. Let’s start with one everyone may know about:
Fly Fisherman--- This magazine is one of the most well-known
fly fishing magazines available.
Fly Rod and Reel--- This print magazine also focuses on
the fish themselves, their habitat, and what tackle is best for each situation.
Eastern Fly Fishing---One of my favorites; the magazine is
available in print publication as well as digital download.
Northwest Fly Fishing--- Fly fishing in the great states of
Northern California, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming as well as
British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory and Alaska.
Southwest Fly Fishing--- For fly fishing anglers living in
the Southwest area of the United States .
The Drake Magazine--- Unbelievable amount of information about fly fishing found in this one magazine

fishing authority of fly fishing.

photography and film

beginner and the seasoned tyer

information

professional writing, beautiful photography and informative articles

Hope this list of magazine publications will be helpful for those of you considering subscribing to new issue of fly fishing.

Mel I used to get several magazines. I've cut down to American Angler and Fly Tyer if the issue has something in it I like.
ReplyDeleteI like the letters to the editor section of Flyfisherman. Check out the new kid on the block, SoMuchWater.com.

Thanks, Bill, for putting a list of reminders out there for us who can't seem to get enough fly fishing and fly tying. I have subscribed to several of those in the past. This was before the Internet fly fishing explosion. Now, I find plenty to read with all the blogs, forums, and online fly fishing magazines to keep me more than busy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...more stuff to read while I'm getting through my bout with cabin fever!!

ReplyDeleteI must admit I am not a physical magazine reader, all my reading is on blogs an online magazine links. Thanks for the comment
I admit I am sold on The Drake. Just seems to be produced at a top notch quality and suits my style of fly fishing.
