Fly fishing is a sport that takes time, dedication, practice and patience to develop your technique. Fly fishing magazines can help you improve your angling skills while also keeping you entertained with impressive photography and interesting articles.
We have compiled a comprehensive list of fly fishing magazines for your convenience:
Fly Fisherman
Fly Fisherman Magazine is a member of the InterMedia Outdoors network, which includes other popular sporting magazines such as Game & Fish and Guns & Ammo. This magazine is one of the most well-known fly fishing magazines available. Not only do they offer articles designed to inform the reader about the latest news in the fly fishing world, they also have interviews and stories about celebrities and their experiences with fly fishing.
The Drake
From the source: “Drakemag.com is a supplement to the Drake Magazine, a grassroots journal for flyfishing enthusiasts. It was founded in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in the summer of 1998 on the principle that too much contemporary outdoor writing gives away all the answers to people who never learned what the questions were.”
The Flyfish Journal
From the source: “The Flyfish Journal is published by Funny Feelings LLC, publishers of The Ski Journal and The Snowboarder’s Journal since 2001. The Flyfish Journal publishes four journals per volume from Bellingham, WA. We also produce podcasts, blogs, artist series shirts, and special events. The Flyfish Journal remains committed to being fly fishing’s premier media product.”
