I’d like to announce the birth of a new fly fishing magazine; Rise Forms: Fly Fishing’s Literary Voice. There are many fly fishing magazines available – most focus on “where-to” and “how-to” or they offer beautiful photos of gleaming fish and dream destinations. By design, Rise Forms will be a bit different from those fly fishing magazines already floating around. Rise Forms will be a place to read about the fly fishing life. As Fly fishing’s literary voice, Rise Forms seeks to find and publish work that conveys both the passion and contemplative nature of fly fishing through high quality, literary works of non-fiction, fiction and even poetry.

Our website is under development but you can get a flavor of it from the About Us page and learn about the editorial board and more on both the general philosophy of the magazine as well as the specific topics we hope to cover.

We are in the process of soliciting articles from a wide range of authors covering an array of topics. If you would like to be considered for publication, please read the Submission Guidelines.

If you have any questions or comments about Rise Forms, please use the Contact Page.

We anticipate launching in the fall of 2010. We look forward to reading your submissions.
