The only magazine better than Fishing Facts was the In-Fisherman. Notice I said "was". In-Fisherman was a fantastic magazine when it was a subscription only study course. Unfortunately, a number of years after it hit the magazine racks if became garbage. I have many years of it in mint condition because they weren't worth reading.
On the other hand Fishing Facts remained a fantastic magazine for years until it was sold. Here again for the later issues many of mine are in mint condition as they weren't worth reading.
Most of the good stuff is online now!
