I just got a notice today that Fly Rod & Reel has ceased publication after 40 years, which I find pretty sad. It was a spin-off of Fly Fisherman when I was a young fly-fisherman. I suppose competition from the Internet and other ff magazines led to FR&R's demise.
You could always rely on the magazine to print a serious conservation column from Ted Williams and could also rely on Gierach's interesting writing style in his column ending the magazine. Over the years, I particularly enjoyed the annual writing contest, which resulted in the Traver Award for writing. Many of these Traver contest stories were quite good, and I will miss reading them each summer.
Sorry to see FR&R end its run.
