I think unless you are rich enough to fund your own mag you are always going to be in a tight spot with advertisers, especially in a niche market. I’ve said before that the gun magazines have always bothered me a bit because it seems almost impossible to get an honest review of a gun. Several times I have chuckled while reading about a lesser quality gun tested that they actually had to send back for repairs during testing, but still seem to think it was the greatest gun ever. However, I can understand in a way…the advertisers for that media tend to be a much smaller pool than some, and if one major firearms manufacturer pulled out, it would hurt.
Its kind of fun to read between the lines anyway…if it is a good writer they usually send subtle hints if the items of gear is not very good. I like to make my own decisions at the shop while kicking the tires on the gear anyhow.
The value of this board is that you can get honest feedback on gear…I’ve gotten a ton of info from the members.
The runoff seems to be going well here in Northern Colorado…I can’t speak for the rest of the state.
Here is a photo of one of Camerons size 18 midge patterns…responsible for my first fish on the Big Horn.
