Editors Desk

As of issue 9, Fly Angler magazine is going to change its release dates to twice yearly to allow for a greatly expanded format. Fly Angler will now be released in November and May.

This heralds an exciting time as the greatly expanded size will allow us to focus even more on providing excellent editorial content, commissioning more in-depth articles and undertake a series of extended feature articles on a range of interesting and relevant topics.

Our website will also be expanded to make Fly Angler the first truly multimedia fly fishing company in Australia. Regular features, fly tying and videos will be added to the site to provide a more interactive site to visit, keeping you up to date between print issues. We’ll also be able to review and showcase new products as they are made available, and we all like new toys!

With this expansion in magazine size the onsale cover price will increase slightly, but subscription rates will remain the same, adjusted to the new rates.
We’re sure you’ll enjoy the new look mag and website!
