Waterlog Magazine

[Snape]

In which number was your article FB?

Good point FB, if we don't try we don't find out. We could well have the next yates right here among us.

We are all active, articulate anglers, I think: and if Forum members feel that the magazine's standard is falling, why not support the magazine by submitting articles for consideration, to help bring the standard back up?

That exactly what happened, Waterlog invited competent 'web authors' but to compare with the likes of Yates, Venebles, Profumo, Petley...the list goes on, Waterlog has become tired/lazy which was a real shame as I used to love receiving Waterlog especially during the colder months.

The suggestion from the Sweetcorn kid is a good one, go for the back issues, they are excellent! If I was asked to do Dessert Island Disks, which is very unlikely, my 'book' would be issues 1-50 of waterlog, if allowed?

Couldn't agree more with Tadpole and SK. I really should end my subscription but I have the whole series you see and.............................and I'm a bloke and have to have a complete set goddamit.

I have a couple of friends who've published some good stuff and also others who just cannot get their excellent works accepted. At least the well known tackle collector's foreign travel articles have dried up. If you want a clue then see who uses exclamation marks after nearly every sentence! That'll be him!

"Er..well," he says coughing..."don't know about that SK.."
- but as you and Snape have enquired, here's the gen:

Waterlog, Summer 2010. No 72.
Pages 34 to 36.

"Ashperton Moat - an elegy for a carp water."

By Gary Bills.

Enjoy! (I hope..)

FB, I'm certainly not having a dig at you personally in fact that's news to me, all I can say is good luck. I stopped at issue 60.
There is certainly some great written words here and elsewhere on the net, I'm guilty of a blog, I guess the difference is, if someone finds what I write or photograph interesting then they can simply view it, if they don't like then they can move on. The issue with Waterlog was it cost me a tenner for some generally below par angling scribbles and hence why most of the good writers have since left. I'd rather spend the money on and old classic or more contemporary books like Blood Knots, For All those Left Behind or Caught by the river...On nature is a stunning read.

Yes, that would be nice FB.

Dear Tadpole, I haven't taken it personally, honestly! - and I agree about Blood Knots - what an unusual and stunning book!

My scanner's bust - otherwise I'd be glad to. If anyone wants to scan it in for me, they have my permission, of course!
Otherwise, I could cut and paste from the original manuscript...?

A cut and paste from the original manuscript would be fine FB.
