I love the magazine first off.
Second I really DONT like flies for salt water or flies for bass.
I know a lot of people get the opportunity to fish in the salt but I would wager most of us do not.
I like ALL kinds of TROUT flies, I'm silly over them, Catskill, wet flies, dry flies, emergers, traditional, classic, snelled, whatever, you name it, I love it.
I don't fish for bass with a fly rod therefore I always pass up the articles that are related to bass flies/fishing. It doesn't interest me. I don't like the way the flies look and I don't enjoy seeing picture of bass. I'm a trout man, pure and simple. I like bass, don't get me wrong, I just don't want them in my literature. I only enjoy reading about trout and trout fishing.
I think filling valuable pages with saltwater flies that 90% of the viewers will never tie is a waste.
I think bass bugs are ugly.
Still, you have the classic salmon flies and my most favorite of all WET FLIES. I love married wings, I love the way they look, I love tying them.
More of that PLEASE.
Leave the bass bugs to other, more inferior magazines!
