It is very difficult to combine a good writing style with angling knowledge, and while many have tried over the years, only a few have succeeded . . . but then we all have our own ideas as to what makes for a good writing style.
To my mind the best I've experienced was in the form of the old Waterlog magazine as many of the contributors were just amateurs; there was little or no product placement, and being published quarterly they were not having to scrabble around to fill the pages.
Many of the contributors the vast angling public had probably never heard of but their writing style was such and to capture an audience and keep it chalenged.
In many ways FM was a little like Waterlog with some excellent contributors and nowhere near as "commercial" as it is these days.
