Flylords Editorial Policy

The content at Flylords is curated by a team of experienced fly anglers. Together, we have thousands of hours on the water, spanning across the country and the world, targeting anything with fins in fresh and saltwater. We aim to educate and unite our readers through a shared passion for fly fishing. Our creative teams work in our Basalt office, in our photo/video studio alongside writers and contributors from across the country.
Our goal is to offer our readers an all-encompassing look at fly fishing. From your first casts to the trip of a lifetime, we seek to give you the tools and knowledge to be successful. Interested in learning to fly fish? Need a new rod for a destination trip? Want to learn to tie flies? We’ve done it and have the information you need to achieve success. We take product recommendations seriously, especially when a piece of gear can mean the difference between landing and losing that fish you’ve been chasing. Everything we recommend has been independently selected by our editors and contributors, based on thorough testing or research. We may earn a commission through affiliate partnerships with retailers.
