Fall Issue of Fly Rod & Reel

Just wrapped up the fall issue and it’s hitting newsstands now. I think we put together another great read with the most varied mix of content in the fly-fishing genre. This issue features our Angler of The Year choice, which is Scott Hed who runs point on the Pebble Mine project and may have saved Bristol Bay from consumptive interests. We also feature our Robert Traver Award winner, which is Jerry Hamza. He penned a piece on a solo adventure in Ontario, the kind of winging-it trip that all dedicated fly fishers dream of. Speaking of Ontario, I wrote an Angler’s Journal column on Ontario and a trip I took there in June. I tried to catch a world record walleye and you’ll have to read the piece to see if I succeeded. What else? Ted Leeson on cold weather gear. Our annual Kudo awards for the best gear of the year. Dave Hughes on a fly called the Muddler Daddy. Classic Gierach. And first-time contributor Crai Bower on billfish. This issue is loaded. I hope you enjoy the read. Let me know what you think of the mag. Thanks. GT
