Ed, Wading in....  
Wow, what a year 2012 has started off to be. We are online in a new page-turning format that has turned Florida Fly Fishing Magazine into an electronic version of a traditional "bricks and mortar" paper publication. This change was for good reason. A “glitch” in transferring the magazine between hosting servers became a runaway terror train that took down and eventually destroyed Florida Fly Fishing Magazine’s former database. Then a computer crash disabled us at the office level. All I can say is thank goodness for computer backups!
     Not to worry (much), we had already planned on converting the magazine into the page-turning format you see now. We had been considering the new format for half a year and further discussions and not a little cajoling convinced us that the time had come. But not just now!
     But here we are, still some smoothing out to do. Get the kinks of of the line, a little oil on the spool bearings and maybe brush a little oxide off a line guide or two.
     We trust you will enjoy this new format. It’s the closest thing we have to a paper magazine. The images are larger and there’s more room to have more stuff. And we can always use more stuff, can’t we?
     Have a great year. Watch out for stingrays and back up your computer files, you’ll be glad you did.
