I've noticed that this has not been discussed....

I like the fisherman, I've been subscribing to it for years(and have most of the issues filed by month back to 1997). Like anything it's got to be taken with grain of salt. I agree that you cannot give out exact locations but if you fish and your given a general area, 1/2 the fun is finding the good spots.
I would like to see more how to's (ie. tie knots, clean reels, spool reels, make flys/lures, ect..).
The articles are a bit rehashed, but so is my memory so I don't mind the reminder. The flow/order of the magazine is unique to say the least, but at least it's consistant.
