Fly Tyer

Fly Tyer

"Fly Tyer" is a magazine dedicated to the subject of fly tying, published four times a year. Fly tying is the art of tying materials to a hook for the purposes of fly fishing. "Fly Tyer" is an asset of Morris Communications, which also owns publications such as "Gray's Sporting Journal", "American Angler", and "Saltwater Fly Fishing". Collectively, these magazines are referred to as the "Morris Group." "Fly Tyer" is currently the largest fly-tying magazine in terms of circulation. It employs "perfect binding" instead of stapled pages, and usually features a close-up image of a fly on its cover.

"Fly Tyer" is edited by David Klausmeyer, the prolific author of "Unnaturals: A Practical Guide to Tying with Synthetics," "Trout Streams of Northern New England" and "Tying Classic Freshwater Streamers: An Illustrated Step-by-Step Guide", among many other works.

History

"Fly Tyer" was spun off of "American Angler" magazine in 1995 when it became clear that the market would support a fly-tying specific publication. Its success has proven the desire for fly tying content. Ironically, "Fly Tyer" was also the original name of the publication that became "American Angler".
