Just a heads-up to let you know that the Spring issue of Fly Rod & Reel is on newsstands now. Took quite a bit to put this one together, but I think it’s the best of the four issues I’ve produced yet. I took a warmwater focus on this one because bass and pike and muskie and panfish are overlooked, in my opinion. In the pages of Spring are articles on western bass and muskie in the Midwest. Gierach tells about smallmouths in Wisconsin, too. Also, I penned a piece on fishing steelhead 800 miles from saltwater, in Idaho. There are other compelling pieces, too, including Davy Woten’s wet flies, stillwater guru Brian Chan’s anti-static midge, details on 8 new rods ranging in price from affordable to lavish. Grant Wiswell details fishing for vampire fish in Bolivia and Seth Norman offers a great review of Andy Mill’s book, Tarpon. Keep your eyes open for the mag and let me know what you think. You’re feedback, good and bad, is imperative to me producing the best print publication in the fly fishing world. Help me out brothers. And let me know what you think of the cover. I think it rocks and is catchy, but you may have another opp. Let me know.
