Fly Tyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

[edit] 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.
