Hi everyone!
I got on the Board today to share some info on a flyfishing magazine I found, and was just going to post about it, but I feel I need to vent about some things I see going on here, that you may not see because of regular viewing. I stopped posting here a while back, the board was painfully slow loading and the board had changed, both in tenor and quality.
Anyway, I was reading the summer issue of "Drake" magazine at a friends house, I liked it so much, I went looking for the current issue at a local fly shop. Nope, they don't carry it. I went to another larger flyshop more than 100 miles from home, Nope, they don't carry it either. Called my friend, found out he bought it at Barnes and Noble, so I hit the local B& N in Fairfield, they have a whole stack of them. One of the BEST FF Mags I have read, I read it at the store with a cup o' Joe from Starbucks, took it home, read it again, read it again cover to cover this morning. Great photo work, good sharp, crisp humor and interesting articles. Any FF mag bold enough to throw a jab at baitfishers right on the cover, is ok by me. Best fish porn I have read in years!
PS> Flyfisherman magazine has been redone, love the up to date format and John Sherman pic on cover, maybe print journalism isn't dead.
PSS> HEY FLYSHOPS, YOU NEED FISH PORN IN YOUR STORES. Don't complain about lagging sales and Big Block stores taking your customers if you don't carry the milk and eggs of the business.
