While most of us spend our free time outdoors, we all need to recharge once in a while. The Internet has a site for just about every interest under the sun\u2014and that includes multiple sites for the modern fly angler. Below are a few of the best in no particular order. So grab your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, and get ready to log on to the ten or so of best fly fishing blogs out there. Take your time, though, as they\u2019re meant to be thoroughly enjoyed.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fly<\/span><\/h2>\n

Gink and Gasoline<\/span><\/h2>\n

Look past the cheesy, Hot Wheels-inspired logo and you\u2019ll find an informative, well-written fly fishing blog. Gink and Gasoline embodies the argument, written by Kirk Deeter, that fly fishing needs more three-knot anglers. Gink and Gasoline provides fly fishing neophytes with plenty of information to transform them into three-knot anglers\u2014 and much more. The blog also features great photography, and there\u2019s usually at least one new post per day. Once you start reading Gink and Gasoline, you\u2019ll have plenty to catch up on, with more coming your way. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyMidcurrent <\/span><\/h2>\n

Featuring a clean, professional layout, Midcurrent is one of the best-known fly fishing blogs out there, and for good reason. Everything there is to know about fly fishing is covered on this site, from gear reviews (not unlike our own Gear Guides) to technical pieces to stories and essays to instructional videos to interviews with the biggest names in the game\u2014there\u2019s something for every fly angler on Midcurrent. If you need to add to your fly fishing collection, the site also hosts a shop. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyThe Fiberglass Manifesto<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to blogger Cam Mortenson, glass is not dead. In fact, it\u2019s alive and well, thanks to the entertaining, honest work done at the Fiberglass Manifesto. Mortenson is one of the most outspoken fly fishing bloggers out there, and not just for his support of fiberglass. The layout can look a bit busy with all of the ads on each side of the page, but that\u2019s understandable considering this a one-man show. And what a show it is, considering the fresh, original voice of Mortenson and the unique topic. Even if you don\u2019t own a glass rod, check it out. The Fiberglass Manifesto just may change your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyLe Mouching <\/span><\/h2>\n

Like Vagabond Fly Mag, Le Mouching is another foreign export\u2014this time from France.\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t worry, though\u2014the site is written in English. It\u2019s also very attractive, with a thoughtfully organized layout and stories that cover angling across the globe\u2014from Brittany, France, to Iceland and Cuba. That makes this site particularly good for the most adventurous of fly anglers, but anyone with a love of fly fishing will find Le Mouching interesting, fun, and educational. And if you really like it, you can show your loyalty by buying a hat from their store. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyFly Fish Food<\/span><\/h2>\n

Talk about a site with focus: Fly Fish Food is about flies, and that\u2019s pretty much it. You can find information, dressings, instructional tying videos here on just about any fly under the sun. And if you don\u2019t tie, you can buy them from the site\u2019s online store. <\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.flyfishfood.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyHatch Magazine <\/span><\/h2>\n

Hatch Magazine has just about everything you could want from an online fly fishing magazine: clear, concise layout; articles on a variety of subjects, including tips and reviews, conservation, and travel; and plentiful content updated regularly. A special shoutout goes to Hatch\u2019s photography, which is often downright beautiful. It\u2019s hard to beat Hatch Magazine when it comes to variety, professionalism, and being just a plain good site. The name is particularly apt, as sitting down and reading Hatch Magazine on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone will give you the same satisfying feeling as reading a newsstand magazine. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyMoldy Chum<\/span><\/h2>\n

Moldy Chum is perhaps this list\u2019s site with the greatest staying power. Since 2006, Moldy Chum has been providing fly anglers with the latest news on the sport and other quality content, and it doesn\u2019t look like they\u2019ll be slowing down anytime soon. From travel, conservation, tips and reviews, to unique features such as Book of the Week Wednesday, Moldy Chum has survived this long for a reason: It\u2019s simply a well-constructed site that shares its readers\u2019 passion for fly fishing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyFlyTalk<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kirk Deeter, whom we mentioned earlier, and Tim Romano are the show-runners behind Field & Stream\u2019s<\/i> FlyTalk, and they run one good show. Considering there\u2019s only the two of them, it\u2019s amazing how much content Deeter and Romano are able to produce, as well as how they\u2019re able to fill that content with smart tips and sly humor. Though Fly Talk is a small part of Field & Stream<\/i>\u2019s bigger site, it\u2019s not small on information, variety, or fun. It counts as a blog on its own, in our eyes. Check it out\u2014we think you\u2019ll agree.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FlyOrvis Fly Fishing Blog<\/span><\/h2>\n

Along with hunting and other outdoor lifestyle topics, Orvis covers fly fishing on its own Fly Fishing Blog, and it earns its place on the website by being filled with great content and photography. Seriously, some of these photos are gorgeously clear and detailed\u2014 especially the close-ups of flies. The articles themselves are no slouch, either, and often there are multiple posts in a single day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"FlyThe Venturing Angler<\/h2>\n

This is very well organized and easy to navigate.\u00a0 While the focus is primarily travel (hence the name and compass logo), they quietly have covered all of the other bases.\u00a0 TVA shares a great photography section and they even have a menu option for saltwater that is quite a bit more substantial than other sites that post an occasional tarpon or bonefish short every few months.\u00a0 As far a being thorough, this one is fairly complete with plenty of quality content.\u00a0 Theres even a guide section and a podcast which we’ll talk about in another post.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/venturingangler.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"flyTail Fly Fishing Magazine<\/h2>\n

Of course our blog is the only one dedicated saltwater fly fishing. It features not only past articles from our print magazine but new and unique fly tying and gear reviews as well as contributions from our readers. You’re reading it now.<\/p>\n
