Now to the subject of cover photos (and possibly), the subject items in various magazines / books now being sold.

As usual the issues that portray "attitude and perceptions" really sometimes get to the core. IMHO, the results of these 'marketed" attitudes are what is most disturbing on the waters today. Marketed messages are about $, rightly so. Marketed ideas usually strike "common denominators" in human behavior - often more self centered or competitive tendencies. Nothing new there..

Not half an hour ago, I received an e-mail from a twenty-something I've known for a few years, asking if I would serve on the advisory board of a new nonprofit organization dedicating to building participation of people 35-and-younger in the folk arts in New England.

It pertains to anglers with certain attitudes and behaviors (you know who you are), and certainly not to all younger anglers.

I call'em "lip rippers", because that's what they say they want to do and that's what they've reduced our fine sport to. They're specifically why I no longer frequent rivers like the Bighorn.

As for FFM, I'm actually almost ashamed to admit I still subscribe. And have since Vol. 1 No. 1. It now takes me less than 10 minutes to flip through a new issue looking for something...anything...new and/or interesting. I seldom find it, however.

The cover photos were generally scenic and serene in nature often with a fisherman in the distance or in the act of fishing etc.....nowadays ALL the cover photos are close-ups of one individual mug generally holding a large fish, more or less the photo is saying, "look at me. aren't I wonderful!".
