Saltybum 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2016 If anyone out there has any older issues just laying around I would like to take them off your hands. I have issues from 2010 till they abruptly discontinued them w/o warning right after I renewed my subscription. Dogs. I don't buy any Bonier publications anymore for that reason. They also burned most of their advertisers too, also without warning. Sad because it was not only a decent mag. but the only one dedicated to the salt. I'm willing to pay shipping and any other cost agreed upon per issue or whatever. Bob email [email protected] Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 I used to write articles for them... Like most fly fishing magazines they should have been on the endangered specie list... If you still have a magazine you like... enjoy - but it will be gone too, in the not too distant future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Does anyone know of a saltwater fly fishing magazine ? And only saltwater! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltybum 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Does not exist. Which is why I hoping to find some older ones. As Capt Bob said most stuff printed on paper is shrinking away and ultimately disappearing in this electronic media age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Wow thats a bummer, maybe a salt and fresh fly fishing/tying magazine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 FlyLife is a salt & freshwater fly fishing magazine from Australia, they ship worldwide & have electronic version! www.flylife.com.au Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 I'm still comped in on Rod & Reel, a fly magazine that has both (but very, very rarely much of interest for me about the salt side of things...). Good luck on finding a magazine with good saltwater fly content. To give you a look at how things are going, I know Mike Connor -a great angler and guide who was the fly fishing editor for Florida Sportsman.... They let him go a few years back and they've done without a "fly editor" since then... I kept a year 'round ad in that magazine for nearly 20 years - but dropped it a few years ago since it was no longer generating any phone calls... That should tell you why I said that magazines in general are dying off.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freebach 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Capt. Lemay, Have you guys seen the free online mag, soon to be print and fee based, called Tail? I'm not sure how I came across it but its free online and the content and pictures are amazing. The current issue has two of my favorite locations featured, south Andros and Turneffe, I bet they would love to get your help with content. www.tailflyfishing.com I still hope to get down to visit my brother and chase fish with you someday Capt, Take care and be safe, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Actually, ironically, I just downloaded that app last week! I have yet to download any "magazines" but I want to soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Most of the on-line outfits welcome content - but don't want to pay for it.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Capt I believe the tail issues are free... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Yep just downloaded an issue for free, so far so good, and salty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meeshka 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Saltybum, Over the next couple weeks I will check for you. I do have issues of saltwater fly fishing but I don't know if they are pre - 2010. If I can find them they are yours. I know I have a good collection of Fly Tyer Mag, and Rod Builder Mag that I hope to find in the process.

Saltybum 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks Meeska Flats, what Capt Bob is talking about is not free reading. He's saying they don't want to pay contributors for the articles they write and the photos they submit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2016 Yeah, i second that. They'll approach you and expect top quality work just because you want to share. i second adam's comment about flylife magazine. It is australian based and traditionally focused on trout, but in the last 12 to 18 months has really started to increase the salt content. I might be biased because i know a number of regular contributors, but the reading is typically very easy. Saltwater fly fishers are a small part of of small commujity here, but interest is growing all the time. Especially in fish such as permit, bonefish, tarpon etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
