I am not a big tyier but besides that I like reading about just about any type of fly fishing. Any suggestions would be great!

If at first you don't succeed ... Then sky diving may not be the sport for you
I like American Angler (6-7 issues per year) or Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Journal (quarterly). I found the others too political.
Fly Fisherman, American Angler; Flyfishing and Tying Journal is good, too and and Flyrod & Reel has some nice articles. If you get in to tying at any point, add Fly Tyer. You can usually find them in bookstores - look through them and see if they're what you're looking for.

Fly Fusion, do have to agree that FAOL is the best electronic magazine there is.

I have to admit I've let all my subscriptions expire. There's so much available on-line now, I really don't have much need for the magazines, except maybe to see where they're hot-spotting so I can avoid those waters.

Magazines make good reading in the "office". That is the only use for them that I have as well. I prefer to read it online. If she is going to spend the $20 to get you a yearly subscription, grab a dozen flies or something and make it worthwhile.

Light-lining into the future with rods from the past.
I gave up on U.S. flyfishing magazines. They've been getting too political for me for a long time. They appear to write just for the advertisers. The only ones I read now are 2 U.K. based magazines, Trout fishing and Flyfishing& Flytying.
I am with Flick. The mags that I pick up at the newsstand and scan are 75% ads and 25% "articles" advertising places, products, or people. All I see in print is "buy the new and improved [item] or you are not a real flyfisher!"
I gave up on magazine subscriptions a long time ago and try real hard not to get any as gifts, since that seems to instantly translate into piles of junk mail when they sell my info to the marketers.
