Welcome to this, the third issue of Fly Punk.
We cannot thank you enough for reading the magazine, and even though we have only been in existence
for 5 month’s we are already gaining readers at an extraordinary rate (we had over 20,000 readers of the
last issue). Thank you.
In this issue, you will find an eclectic range of article and subjects, from the Far East fly fishing for
Arapaima, to Bonefish, Black-Tip Sharks and a real life fly punk. We also feature an artist who has some
stunning trout related designs using a very unusual canvas. Thanks to everyone who has submitted
article for us, we couldn’t do it without you.
In the last issue I mentioned an idea for guerrilla marketing. We attended the British Fly Fair International
back in February. We had some posters printed and challenged everyone who took one to display the
poster somewhere unusual and send us the photos. Well, as you can see below Fly Punk is spreading its
tentacles throughout the whole globe; from the middle of the Amazon rainforest, to the trams in Hong
Kong:

it in the coming issues.
We are always looking for new angles to fly fishing. If you think you have a story to tell – something
that is innovative, out of the ordinary or just plain funny, please jot it down and send it in to us (email
address below). We are always looking for new articles and features – so long as it relates to fly fishing
and conforms to the “why we fish” ethos we would love to include it.
We decided to make this magazine a free publication to try and reach as wide an audience as possible.
If you don’t like it – please tell us why, if you do like it – please tell us (and your fishing friends) – we like
a pat on the back every now and then!
