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 full-blown media brand dedicated to creating community and curating the finest fly-fishing writing, photography, and filmmaking in the world.

Built on breath-taking imagery, world-class stories, and peerless instruction, Fly Fusion is more than a magazine. It’s more than a television show. And it’s more than a film festival…

It is the SOUL of fly fishing.

If you have a story, or a story idea, please send us an email outlining your article idea: info@flyfusionmag.com.

Feature articles should focus on a specific topic with an emphasis placed on the content being of value to the reader.

Brand Reference: 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.

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

Article should be a minimum of 2,500 words, not to exceed 3,000 words. Supply at least 20 curated photos. When fly patterns are referenced in an article please include the corresponding recipes and photos of the flies.

Note: provide any special requests for photo credits at the time of submission. If none are provided the author’s name will be used.

Photo essays are an opportunity to provide readers an escape; to “travel” through your lens. Photos, wherever possible, should convey community and must be stunning. Photos should tell the story in its entirety.

Items needed with submission:
Selection of 35 or more photos that pertain to the content of the editorial.
Editorial comprised of 500 words in short-story format.

Note: provide any special requests for photo credits at the time of submission. If none are

• ”our” not “or” (ex. colour rather than color)
• “z” not “s” (ex. magazine rather than magasine)
• “gue” not “g” (ex. catalogue rather than catalog)
• When using words that do not fall under these categories, remain consistent throughout your article.
