Fishing & Hunting News Magazine Discontinued

AUG. 1, 2008—Outdoor Empire Publishing has announced that it will discontinue publishing Fishing & Hunting News magazine effective with the recently distributed August 7, 2008 issue.

Outdoor Empire Publishing will continue the association memberships that allow it to publish our three tradeshow product guides (for SHOT, ICAST, and NRA). It will also seek to sell those publications, the Fishing & Hunting News brand, Web site, and related assets.

Bill Farden founded Fishing & Hunting News on April 1, 1954 and it has had a mission to serve the outdoorsman and the outdoors industry ever since. It is with regret that Outdoor Empire Publishing decided to end the consumer print version that embodied that mission. Unfortunately, outdoor industry consolidation and the recent state of the economy have resulted in a declining business climate for much of the magazine industry. Outdoor Empire Publishing has taken this sad but prudent step in recognition of those facts.

Sure hope they're planning on giving refunds to subscribers.  I was just about to renew again for another 2 years for the free filet knife.

I was just about to subscribe this week.

death by internet.

yEP---their info was printed some weeks in advance, and there was a certain amount of guesswork as to what was actually the case.  But it was good for feeding the fishing and hunting "jones", and I'll miss paging thru it at the Thriftway....for real hard info on salmon/steelhead, there's the
Salmon & Steelhead Journal", well worth a subscription and slanted toward West Coast sites. 

I enjoyed the local trout and bass reports more then anything...

Anybody know of an up to date alternative for these venues?

Yep---the Salmon University has a lakes division of their REPORTs page, it's (mostly) updated weekly:
