THE LATEST NEWS and advice on fly fishing, fly fishing gear, fly fishing trips, and fly fishing books and media.Men's Vogue Inaugural "Sports Issue"
Is it a sign of the times or high time for periodicals to stop trying to make outdoor sports terminally hip? Men's Vogue, which began publication with their January/February issue, marries, in a very non-hook-and-bullet fashion, helicopter snowboarding and shopping for shoes.

Henry Miller gives a pretty hilarious take on the whole thing in the Salem, Oregon Statesman-Journal: "Sports properly break down into two categories, outdoor and indoor, with three major activities in each. Outdoor sports consist of fishing and hunting. And hiking -- when absolutely necessary -- to get to the fishing and hunting."
