Wait, is this a Banjo Minnow infomercial at 3am on the Sportsman's Channel, or just the most tired fly fishing magazine on the planet? "The Quiet Sport," for refined gentlemen. Guess what? Cheney skis in jeans, and every serious fly angler in the universe stopped reading your magazine after reading "Secrets of the Henry's Fork" for the eighteenth time. When did that fascinating piece first run, 1974?


Give me a f@#$ing break, do the sport a favor and shut your presses down before you embarrass yourselves any further.

  1. Ha ha. Love it. I've ranted similarly many times. Funny thing is - apparently they have, by far, the largest circulation of all the flyfishing zines. Go figure.
