Collection: THE MISSION FLY MAGAZINE

The Mission Fly Mag was started by three people. Editor, Tudor Caradoc-Davies (ex GQ, Men’s Health and Best Life), Art Director Brendan Body (ex Session skateboarding magazine and The Lake) and artist Conrad Botes, who in his editor-at-large/seagull manager role* weighs in on art and illustration and also writes stories.

We started this wee beastie because we love both fly fishing and quality magazines and wanted to create something we are proud of. The end product is The Mission, but not without some help.

Ingrid Sinclair, managing director, is on the books, admin and copy edits every fishing article before it reaches your eyeballs. Matt Kennedy, the Content Co-ordinator and padawan is behind the lens for many stories, shoots and edits videos and consults about conservation related articles. Tudor’s mum, Gillian Caradoc-Davies sub-edits many of our crazy fishing stories, tones down the swearing and makes sure they’re legible. Bailey and Rufus, the office dogs, spend their days receiving pets, barking at squirrels and dropping farts under our desks.

We are based in South Africa and while we admit a bias towards African species and destinations, we go anywhere for a story and our outlook is 100% global. After all… you try telling a fly angler they can only fish where they are from.

* Flies in, craps all over everyone, flies out.
