How does one get their photography into magazines?

I know some photographers actually work for specific magazines, but I also know that freelancers provide photos as well. How do you get your pictures into magazines? Do you just send them in and hope for the best?

More specifically nature type, such as fly fishing magazines.

Get hold of the "freelance photographers handbook" in the UK or the equivalent in the US.

These have details of virtually all publishers/mags etc and how to submit.

basically, you need to submit them to the picture editor with covering letter etc.
If they want to use them then they will contact you and you then agree terms.
Alternatively, submit to stock libraries.

Make sure you study the magazines you plan to submit to before doing anything and ensure you only submit the type and style of shots they are likely to use.

Stand by for a lot of rejections and no responses though as these people get hundreds of submissions a day.
