Welcome to Issue 76

It has always been in my nature to swim against the flow. Sometimes it works, on other occasions it doesn't. 

The scratch I’ve wanted to itch for over three years now is to try and bring a new hard copy magazine. 

I’ve toyed with the idea of bringing a “best of” edition of ESF but wanted to try something a little more different and so a while back I phoned a good friend and told him I’d had another mad idea.

“I think I want to try and bring a fishing magazine” I told him. “It has got to be ethical ,fresh in its approach, has strong imagery, is independent and forward thinking.”

“You in?” I asked. I already knew the answer.

So we’ve been working on a new project called Fly Culture. Like ESF, it will be run as ethically as possible, from the printing process to the causes we want to support. This is no money making operation, we just want to put something out that we think fellow anglers will enjoy.

I am happy to have some great people working with me on Fly Culture, some you will know from these pages others you may not. The important thing is that they feel the same way about fly fishing as I do and want to portray it as I hope to.

I know this is going to be hard work but I’ve never been afraid of rolling my sleeves up and trying something new. It has been a steep learning curve already but I’ve been enjoying it a lot and the initial response has been both supportive and truly humbling. 

The plan is to run both ESF and Fly Culture side by side, a bit like siblings, and see what happens.

We’ve had a website built and will be adding to it so please drop by and have a look, along with a Facebook page that we’ll start updating on how the project is progressing, so take a look and Like the page if you fancy it.

I can’t tell you how excited I am and I think we might have uncovered a formula that we could just pull off!

Thanks to Klaus VanZanten for the cover pic.
