😍 NEW ISSUE ON SALE NOW! 😍

September’s Fly Fishing & Fly Tying celebrates adaptability — showing how today’s fly fishers continue to evolve their tactics while drawing inspiration from both traditional skills and modern thinking.

In this month’s Welcome, Mark Bowler reflects on how changing tackle, techniques and conditions mean anglers are no longer bound by old conventions. From five-weight rods on reservoirs to tying flies bankside or using foam hoppers for warm-water chub, the message is simple: there is always another way to approach a problem.

The issue also explores the enduring appeal of traditional fly tying, from John Glynn’s hand-held vice techniques to classic salmon flies tied entirely by hand, alongside the latest innovations for modern fisheries.

Whether you’re targeting wild trout, chasing summer chub on the surface or simply looking for fresh inspiration at the vice, this month’s issue is packed with ideas to help you fish smarter and think differently.

The new issue of Fly Fishing & Fly Tying is out now in all major supermarkets and newsagents or download the digital edition from the App Store today.
