i see lots of good ideas...keep em coming. some of them ive already started (wipers have been covered, and im starting a "pike on the fly" one for this june...but thats been hit quite a few times in the past few years in other magazines and i dont want to overdo it) a gear selection one was covered in a 3 part article just recently, but i suppose we could hit some gear reviews...
so far heres a tentive list, based of of your ideas---
The idea of basic fly tying is a hard subject to cover in just one magazine article. a book is more apt to cover it properly---so im going to stay away from that one. however, instruction on tying more specific patterns wouldnt be hard. its almost worth its own designated section each month. ("Tie of the month" or something like that) readers could even contribute thier own favorites and instruction.
"Proper" fishing ettiquitte. (i know alot of people that need to read that one...)
Tying and fishing scuds (seems to be lots of questions on scuds on this forum)
Basic fly selection for colorado...i have that one done already, its hasnt been published yet.
Stillwater tactics on high plains lakes
high country fishing...which has been touched before.
Bass on the fly...
Float tubing...tactics, techniques, safety, ect ect.
the effects or weather, moon, and barametric pressure would be a good one...but someone else better tackle that, i cant figure it out. everything ive read never is consistant with how my experiences have been...and i just dont want to go and write about something that ive only read about and never was able to figure out consistantly.
Panfish tactics...crappie and bluegills
ahem...my least favorite, but i know some of you like it...Carp on the fly. ive done it, and can write about it i suppose....
other ideas include writing about specific bodies of water and some high mountain lakes and streams.
so far you guys are coming up with some good ones...keep thinking about subjects you havnt seen before...or ones you want to know about that might be covered in one or two articles...
