I will say that I did for years and years but, that I don't any more for what some might think is a silly or trivial reason. I don't agree with the way their advertising has gone down hill. I don't like to read a magazine that has more ads for Viagra, Cialis and other male enhancements and last long creams than they do for fly rods or shotguns. I have written each magazine several times about this trend and have never even had the small courtesy of any kind of reply. I even believe that there was a thread on here a while back about this subject. So to me it really makes no difference what they think are the best flies, shotguns, rifles, or condoms, I don't read them so their opinion means less than nothing to me.:rolleyes:
