Fishhound enrolls 50 more guides to contribute reports

May 9, 2011 - PRLog -- SHERMAN OAKS, CALIFORNIA – Fishhound  – the most comprehensive collection of current fishing reports available anywhere – significantly increased the numbers of Pro Staff contributing to its site last month, signing up more than 50 fly-fishing guides at the Ice-Out Event held in Bozeman, Mont., by Simms Fishing Products.

Fishhound (http://www.fishhound.com) has nearly 700 guides, shops and outfitters providing fresh information on thousands of fishing spots around the country. With a few clicks of the mouse anglers can research the best time to go, where the best fishing is and what’s working best to catch fish.

At the second-annual Simms’ Ice-Out event designed specifically for guides, Fishhound added more than 50 new members to its Pro Staff – guides who agree to provide fresh off the water fishing reports on where to go and what to throw. The new pros are part of Fishhound’s unique revenue-sharing program that pays them to update fishing conditions on their favorite waters.  

“Once a guide sees our site it becomes apparent that we can promote their service to thousands of new anglers and help them increase the number of paid days they spend on the water,” said Richard Marks, CEO of Fishhound.  “The key to our site is fresh information, and there’s nobody better at providing fresh information than guides like these who spend hundreds of days each year on the water.”

Among the pros that signed up in Bozeman are Gunnison River Advisors, Bighorn Troutfitters, Western Alaska Sportfishing, Grand Fishing Adventures and Durty Kurty’s Guide Service.

Fishhound.com re-launched in April, featuring fishing reports from a cadre of fly-fishing professionals in both fresh and saltwater. Much of the groundbreaking site (www.fishhound.com) is free to all users, including fishing reports, flow, temperature and water clarity readings and databases of lures, flies and species. A premium section of Fishhound is also available. For less than $5.99 a month, Fishhound users can create a personal dashboard, get detailed section reporting from Fishhound pros, subscribe to hatch and “hot fishing” alerts, purchase select products at discount and more.  For more information regarding membership benefits visit our member benefits page.
