Fly fishing has always been passed down not just through technique, but through stories (told beside campfires, along riverbanks, in newsletters, magazines, casting fields, and club meetings). Long before social media or streaming platforms, the culture of fly fishing was preserved by people who shared these stories.
This issue of Flyfisher celebrates the storytellers (past and present). Writers, teachers, mentors, conservationists, artists, elders, youth, and everyday anglers whose stories shape identity, ethics, and belonging within the sport.
