CONTRIBUTE

The Complete Fly Fisherman (TCFF) is a specialist fly fishing magazine featuring articles that deal with the greater discipline of fly fishing. This includes, but is not limited to, the following categories:

• fly-tying and techniques
• fresh and salt water tactics
• fly fishing venues
• boat impressions and gear reviews
• conservation
• satire

TCFF prides itself on the integrity of its editorial. Therefore, it publishes only authoritative, well-written articles on the various disciplines that encompass fly fishing. Photograph submissions must meet our required standards of quality and composition. In some instances, we may use our library resources. However, we generally prefer the submission of topical photographs with the article. Sketches will be considered for publication only if of proper standard and quality. If necessary, these and may be redrawn by our staff.

If you wish to submit an unsolicited article, please bear in mind that TCFF supports catch-and-release practices and therefore has an editorial policy not to publish photographs of dead fish and/or fish held in a manner which may impact on their general well-being.

Our editorial policy is not to promote any specific product or service through the publishing of articles, unless such products and/or services are justified in the particular context. References to products and/or services will otherwise be removed.

Please Note

While we attempt to answer all queries, this may take some time depending on workload. Rest assured that all submissions will be read and evaluated and responded to in due course. So, do not despair if you do not hear from us immediately.
