Hi Flyfishfairwx, No sliding - promise. We conducted a reader study a couple years back and the main message we got back with regards to the editorial content was fairly clear - Don't Change A Thing. With that in mind the other message that we got was "Can you give us just a little bit of destination?". So we thought the best way to handle this without completely vacating our core editorial values would be to produce a fifth issue which focus would be 100% destination based - BUT done our way. Derek (Editor) has written an editorial for Stream Lines in the Special Issue that will cover all of what we are doing with this issue. Not to worry your regular issues will be as reliable as always. Cheers! Chris

Hi Everyone, Remember the TROUT cover debate we had a few issues ago? WE NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN. Except for this time we are going to let YOU GUYS choose which cover we should go with for our 2010 "Destinations" Special Issue. This issue is due out on stands on October 18th so we need you to tell us this week which cover you prefer. Is it the one on the left, which has a little more character, or is it the one on the right, which has a travel feel to it... YOUR CALL... - CB on behalf of the Fly Fusion Team

Hey Harps, Sounds like a great idea. Licensing guidelines for the festival will be released later this summer. Cheers! c:

Here's a quick link to the full information release. More detailed information to follow... Cheers! c:

Hi Everyone, On behalf of Fly Fusion Magazine I am very excited to announce that Canadians are about to get our very own fly fishing film festival. The film festival will be launched in early 2011 - dates and venues to be announced later this year, however, Calgary will be on the list and will of course be hosted by Fly Fish Calgary. Cheers! Chris

Very true. My version of that goes something like this: "My wife is ALWAYS RIGHT, but just in case I forget - own a very nice couch" A good friend of mine gave me some great advice a little while ago. He said that its okay to disagree with your wife. Just do it sparingly so that you have a shot at winning every once in a while. Chris

love the feedback... we'll give it until after the weekend and then let everyone know on the FFC/Fly Fusion Facebook page which image was Jen's pick and which one was mine. Have a great long-weekend everyone! Chris
