Open the cover and in addition to the comprehensive listing of IGFA World Records and Slam & Trophy Clubs, the 2021 issue features five incredible feature articles by industry authorities, including discovering incredible biodiversity and fisheries in Fishing the Solomon Islands: Where Variety is the Spice of Life by Sam Mossman, exploring an angler’s dream in The Spectacular Seychelles by Sam White, uncovering the comprehensive history of shallow-water boat design in The Evolution of the Flats Skiff by Chris Morejohn, learning the history of fly fishing’s transition over the years in The Evolution of Fly Fishing from Fresh to Saltwater by Monte Burke, and uncovering the facts behind native trout in North America in Wild Trout of the Wild West by Steve Quinn.
