bigbrooktrout Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Did this come from the Drake? My God I hope not - haven't got the newest issue yet but if it is something REALLY changed in the last three months or so... I don't think that you will get an objective opinion here because this forum is sponsered by Flyfusion. Although it is a good magazine, but lacks in geographic coverage and many other areas. For myself and many others on here Canadain fly fisher is a much better publication with articles writen from writers and photographers from all over this find country and many others with a very wide variety of different species and locals to try with concise instruction on everything from fly tying to casting from the best instructors in the country. But my favorite is still the drake for the short concise articles and amazing photography, after all it has won many awards and has a world wide following. But be objective and read or preview has many has posible and form your own decisions, we all have different taste. Quote

Bigbrooktrout I see many posts for and against a few different mags on this thread so I find your above statement has zero merit and is unfair. As long as it’s all constructive and not destructive criticism then I think those who are sponsors or non sponsors will read this thread and learn from those they are targeting as customers. Quote

Just saying it sounds that way!!! CFF mag has and is all the problems that you mention of other mags.. and more, it lacks moral fiber, and has zero concern for any area that it hotspots or features.., glory hounds and takers is what it is made up of ... and when those faults are brought to the attention of their editors .. you will be shut down and basically told that you should read Fly Fusion ... and I got this from Nick Pujic ... He will not change his way of putting out the mag.. or the content.. becasue it sells his words not mine... So you get zero support for CFF from me.... I do like Fly Fusion but have a subscription to The Fly fisherman.. they may hot spot but not in the graphic detail as CFF and they have social and environmental conscious unlike CFF... This is my opinion and like A-Holes everybody has one..even if they stink.. So this may stink as you see it, but you opened the door... to the Sheit house... Quote
jjthom2 Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 "Fly Life" is another great mag out of NewZeland and Australia. Quote
flyfishfairwx Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Is the Drake an online mag only or is there a print version? I like the online version, have not seen the Print version if there is one!! Quote
bloom Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Drake is a print magazine...I believe you can pick it up at FishTales. They have a forum also, but it's mostly for centerpinners Quote
flyfishfairwx Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Drake is a print magazine...I believe you can pick it up at FishTales. They have a forum also, but it's mostly for centerpinners so Bloom you do not like the forum or the Mag, because from what I have read on Google, if you centre pin, you have a higher chance of killing fish due to no drag on the mooching reel.. If this is correct about Pinning then you will not catch me doing it!!!! Not really sure what the hell I am say here but don't like the Centre Pinning thing if it is what it is... Quote

flyfishfairwx Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Uh oh, I think I hear a wolfie about to howl... Howl or whine if centre pinning is as the Google thing says then it not for me!!!! DWI.... Quote
onthefly7 Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I get fly fishing in salt waters but it has way to many advertisements and fluff stories so i will switch to DRAKE for sure! Quote

reevesr1 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Good Lord. This was supposed to be a post about what mag people like. How the hell did it get to center pinning being bad for fish (or at least based on that bastion of verified information, Wikipedia)? And furthermore-if you like a magazine say you like it and why. It is not necessary to bash any other magazine to show how much better the one you like is. Quote

bloom Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I like the mag, and I like the board. For those who visit it regularly, you'll know what I mean about the centerpinning comment. It's definitely a fly fishing board with an edge...basically anything goes...especially if you're willing to share some boobs, pie and fish porn It can sometimes be the opposite of this board, and that's not a good or bad thing....it's just different..just don't ask them what their favorite 5wt is.

flyfishfairwx Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 It must be too cold to hear the wolf howl!!!! GAY poky thing inserted here -> even that sounds gay!!!! Quote

newflyer Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 ahh yes the Drake board... no morals or moderation... just about perfect... Quote
bigbowtrout Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 ahh yes the Drake board... no morals or moderation... just about perfect... And next to zero fishing info lol Quote
duanec Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 hey thanks for the drake plugs yall, it's worth a look don't know how i missed that one all this time... Quote
kipper Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 My favourites are The Canadian Fly Fisher ( don't even know if it is still available ) and for tying I am partial to Fly Tyer - my main reason for these picks is for the Fly Patterns that they share with their readers and Fly Tyer has stories to go with the flys they showcase. Next to a video their fly tying instructions and illustrations are the best - bar none IMO - and as far as Canadian content I have had a lot of success using the patterns found in this mag. in Canadian waters. Drake looks like it may be worth a second look - "their board is unusual"....would be an understatement. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I made one post on the Drake and I was asked "who the F are you?" and another guy asked for me to post a pic of my Mom so he could draw rude things on then he wanted me to leave LOL Real classy site hahahaha I regret using the same handle on there as I have on here lol Quote

duanec Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 as an ffc improvement suggestion to the mods: please add the following category to this site Bitching Room for Whiny People Who Bore Us to Tears All threads that bitch about new, existing, or old members will be posted/relocated here. Keep this *hit off the General forum, because no one wants (or cares) to hear your opinions. Now go back to the other forums and post something worthy of reading. i see the drake board got that one right. [insert gay pokey-stick-thing] Quote
