These days most press releases about a new fly fishing publication involves some sort of new school online magazine play.... not today. Funny Feelings LLC, the big brains behind the The Ski Journal and Frequency, are launching a new fly fish pub that promises to knock your socks off and take up permanent residence in the smallest room off your house. We've been lucky enough to have a peek behind the curtain along the way and we've even promised to spread some Chum love on Tailgate, the new TFFJ blog.
The first issue is sure to sell out so hit the link below and subscribe.
Bellingham, WA – Funny Feelings LLC is pleased to announce the launch of our long-awaited The Flyfish Journal and www.theflyfishjournal.com. In development for nearly two years, TFFJ is a coffee-table and collectible chronicle of fly fishing's icons, environments, and culture of adventure. With the industry's highest quality printing, paper and photo resolution, limited advertising, and clean, classic design, The Flyfish Journal stands apart from the herd. With an emphasis on the landscapes, people, conservation, and less on “Five Dynamite Caddis Patterns”, The Flyfish Journal lives on well after the others have been tossed. Our website is a creative café for contributors, readers, and the fly world at large to share tales, experience bits of fly culture, check out independent projects and connect to same level of quality as our print product.
“I ran into a friend the other day who began asking me questions about the TFFJ launch”, says publisher Jeff Galbraith:
“So, you're not really going to be doing how-to cast articles?”
“Nope.”
“You're not going to be doing river maps?”
“No.”
“Tying tips?”
“Go online.”
“So, it's basically going to be useless?”
“Absolutely.”
The Flyfish Journal, proudly hatching in late-August 2009, features the totally useless works of Dylan Tomine, Greg Keeler, Ben Marcus, Adam Barker, Chris Santella, Claire Chounaird, Tom Bie, Kirk Deeter, Tim Romano, Brian O'Keefe, Steve Duda, Bruce Hill and other fine folk.
