I used to read gun magazines then they all became the same, either it was AR15 or 1911 or Tacticool crud. Never a bad review and often a review where the person was at some hunt paid for by the gun company whose product they were reviewing. Now if I want to know about a certain firearm, I go two a couple of boards I frequent or over to youtube and watch some reviews. Were I in the market for fly gear, I would ask here, Im sure I would get more information and better suggestions than I would from any paper magazine. and I don't have to pay $10 for the privilege of reading a bunch of advertisements disguised as articles. .
