This Is Fly (Volume 2, Issue 2)
This is Fly. No, seriously. But why would you believe a fly fishing obsessed fella from the northern reaches of Maine? Because I, ladies and gentlemen, am also pretty “Fly”. Not for a white guy, just in general. Click the cover below, and you too can be “Fly”. Happy Castings, -Ben
Catch Magazine Issue #12
- Issue #12 of Catch Magazine is alive and kickin’, and easily gets the award for best cover to date. Maybe I’m just partial to classic salmon flies, but this one really takes the cake. Flip through the pages and you’ll soon realize that no corners were cut in this issue. A special section about [...]
Horray 4 May!
- It’s that time of the month again (I know what your thinking)! Catch Magazine and This is Fly have seriously stepped it up, not that the level they were presented at before was anywhere near out-o-wack. After reading/Listening/watching both from front to back, I can say without a doubt that May 2010 for both [...]
Sleeping in the Dirt Mag: Issue #2
-Who loves you?! Because Mr. Otto is so generous, he decided to release Issue 2 of his intensely popular Online Magazine to the public TWO FULL DAYS in advance. I waited up until close to 1am to get a glimpse at this work of art, and trust me, it was more than worth the loss [...]
Sleeping In The Dirt
- Nothing makes me smile more than a completely intentional and well deserved b*tch slap to the face of corporate fly fishing. Leaving out the sponsors, high priced ads, and focus on fancy gear, expensive trips, and “professional” fly fishermen, Sleeping in the Dirt is simple: by the people, for the people. Regular Joes from [...]
Close the Gap
Recently I had an enticing conversation with a colleague about how blogs, along with facebook, twitter, and other social networking sites are really helping us fill the obvious gap in the outdoor world between the “traditional older crowd ” and the emerging youth scene. It was agreed upon that in this day and age, it [...]
This is Fly: Issue 20
The latest issue of This is Fly will blow your mind, but would you honestly expect anything less? In a world where magazines in print seem to be tanking worst than Obama’s popularity ratings, this is one publication that deserves a special edition hard copy. The Gear section is stellar, with a load of new [...]
PERFECT!
- Perfect Perfect Perfect Perfect Perfect. I could type it a couple thousand more times and it still wouldn’t be enough. The debut issue of Fish Can’t Read exploded into the world of fly fishing media, and in my humble opinion it hit the ground on a serious sprint. Breathtaking photography always makes a magazine [...]
Better Know a District!
- About a month ago Stephen Colbert sat down with Chellie Pingree to discuss Maine’s first district. I’m not usually one to laugh when people poke fun at Maine, but in this case I’ll make an exception. I mean, who knew that Portland had the third highest concentration of women living together, or that some [...]
