Born from a simple idea in the back of a fly shop, Fly Fusion has grown from a single issue of a magazine into a fly-fishing media and entertainment house dedicated to creating community and curating the finest fly-fishing writing, photography, and filmmaking in the world. Built on breathtaking imagery, world-class stories, and peerless instruction, Fly Fusion is more than a magazine. It’s more than a television series. And it’s more than a film festival.
It is the SOUL of fly fishing.
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 2,500 words, but not exceed 3,000 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 of the flies. 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.
Photo essays are an opportunity to provide readers with a visual escape. Photos should tell the story in its entirety, including the details, and include an element of community. They must be stunning.
