$5 for fly fishers. $10 for bait fishers.
IF You haven’t seen The Drake magazine before the above quotation which has been on the cover of every issue might be an inkling that this is a magazine for serious fly fishers. What you are not going to find is yet another article on how to rig a nymph and indicator, river maps with places to fish, or tying a bugger, _ there are other magazines fulfilling those needs.
The Drake provides inspiration through snapshots into fly fishers lives all over the country _ what they are doing, and where they are doing it _ through some incredible photography and iconoclastic writings. It becomes addictive.
The path to getting The Drake finally on our shelves over the past 18 month has about as chaotic and error prone and finally just plain fortuitous as slices of fly fishing life it captures every issue. Finally it took publisher Tom Bie, dropping into the shop while heading west to fish for smallies with another mutual friend Todd Moncrieff, that actually got the magazine on the racks and a sticker on the door.
Next time your in the store check it out.
