Fly Fusion Magazine is one of the most influential and visually stunning publications in the world of fly fishing. Published quarterly, Fly Fusion delivers a powerful blend of expert how-to content, compelling narratives, gear reviews, destination features, and world-class photography. It speaks directly to passionate, experienced anglers who spend a significant amount of time on the water.

With a loyal subscriber base, Fly Fusion is the creative force behind the Fly Fusion Series (a widely streamed and broadcast fly-fishing show), the International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4)—the world’s leading fly-fishing film event with over 160 global screenings annually—and The Trout Tour, showcasing trout-focused fly-fishing films touring key fly-fishing markets across North America.

Who we are editorially: Fly Fusion speaks to a North American audience, with a focus on trout. We cover other species of fish to scratch the travel itch and to reduce pressure on… trout. We are unapologetically trout-centric and care deeply about the places in which all fish reside.

Anecdotes: Avoid writing strictly narrative articles. Anecdotes within an article are welcome. The function of anecdotes is to provide a stimulating framework for communicating or “weaving in” the instructional context of the article.

The article should be at least 3,000 words, but not exceed 3,500 words and should be accompanied by at least 20 publishable photos. When fly patterns are referenced in an article please include the corresponding recipes and photos. Please provide any special requests for photo credits at the time of submission. If none are provided the author’s name will be used.

Brand References: Avoid advertising in an article. When referring to brand names and fly-fishing services, please ensure that they work within the context of the sentence or paragraph. All brand, guide, service or lodging references deemed unsuitable will be removed from the article prior to publishing.
