Publisher's Message… Let me first say I never dreamed our reach could be so large and so fast. The many of you that have taken the time to express your opinions to me is to say the least overwhelming. Enough said, here are some passages from emails I have recieved. Francesca Carlisle " There would have been no way for my husband and I to witness fishing in North America as we are doing now, had it not been for us finding wwwsimplyfishingmagazine online. Please keep them coming our way" Francesca, Spain Iain Vincent " What will it take to get Bob and some of his fishing friends to join us in Sweden, for some of our fishing? Bob is the king of musky and if he fishes with us, he will become king of pike fishing as well. Iain Vincent, Sweden. Andrea VanBenschoten " Simply Fishing Magazine is in our opinion the " Holy Grail" of on line fishing publications and the coverage they give fly fishing should be commended. Keep the issues coming to those of us enjoying fly- fishing. Andrea VanBens-choten, USA Rudy Steffen " Great publication and do to the fact it is on- line, I can contact anyone I need to in terms of advertisers or fishing locations from anywhere in the world with the click of my mouse. GREAT EFFORT, you and your staff are to be com-mended" Rudy Steffen, Michigan, USA Chester Bishop " Boy has this been a long time coming. The brain behind this will without question change the landscape in the fishing world and as I understand it, a hunting version is in the works, go hunting. Great job everyone. Chester Bishop, Kentucky, USA Shuanng Feng, " Now we can see more types of fishing in USA without waiting and at anytime we wish. I come to US and Canada for business trips and I go fishing. This very great tool for informa-tion." Shuanng Feng, Japan Charley Seymour " Coming from Texas we don't get very timely information regarding angling in the northern United States, until I discovered your online publication. Very informative article on Lake Fork by the way. I fish there quite often and from your article I have already improved my success. How about some more southwest articles along with pike in the north?" Charley Seymour, Texas Jillian Perry " Two things, great magazine, very colorful and well put together for starters. Sec-ondly, I can read it on- line in my office any time I wish and don't have to clutter my desk with printed material that I don't need others seeing, nice escape during a long afternoon. I am already waiting for the next one, thanks." Jiillian Perry, Detroit, USA Sherry Gahne " How do I get to go fishing with Bob? After seeing him and watching his videos as a result of finding this magazine online, I know I want to tap into his wealth of knowledge. Call me Bob, my number is within and thanks for the GREAT MAGAZINE" Sherry Gahne, Iowa, USA As publisher I would like to say thank you to all that took the time to express your opinions re-garding the work we have done within Simply Fish-ing Magazine.
