I find that BC Outdoors has become a bit to superficial in recent years (not enough detail), while Outdoor Canada has greatly improved to be a good read. STS is about the same as it always was while Fly Fisherman has become a real snore. All the rest are okay but not worth bying when you can read them for free at Chapters or the library for free.

You know, I compared a few of the newer BC Outdoors mags for content and detail, with copies from seven or eight years ago (on the same subjects) and the older copies I found much superior to the new format. The info was more accurate and detailed. Lots of the guys who used to write for BCO don't seem to anymore, either. I also found that I used to save my copies to keep for reference to valuable info, which I still look up; but now, I just give the copies I get (X-mas present subsription because I wouldn't waste the money) to a buddy. Nothing in them really of interest to me anymore. Shame; used to be a great mag.
