Re: [VFB] Favorite FF Mags

[Eddie D]

In the mail today somes some flyer that says free introductory issue blah blah. Im sure you guys know the scheme. My question is, has anyone heard of fly rod and reel magazine and is it worth getting? its 12 bucks a year but I dont want to waste my money on a bad magazine. What Fly Fishing(or even better fly tying) magazines come out monthly or bi-monthly? Thanks for all the help!

My two pence worth....

It seems like I am in good company...I let my subscription to Fly Tyer
lapse. Haven't missed it. I do occasionally buy a copy...not often.

The only fly tying mag that I subscribe to as of now is Fly Fishing and Fly
Tying (this is the UK magazine...not the journal from the states).

It has maintained a high degree of quality (compared to many of the other
paper-sinks out there). This magazine definitely leans toward the UK styles
of fly patterns/techniques, etc. (shocker!)...but it is very interesting and
has some great techniques. I have used some of the flies offered in FF&FT
over here with varying degrees of success (note - I have also used my flies
with varying degrees of success).

It is a bit more expensive, but, in my opinion, worth the price. If anyone
is interested, check out the website at
http://www.flyfishing-and-flytying.co.uk/.

Best to all.

Chris
