Flyfishmap Sets About Mapping The World Of Fly Fishing

March 4, 2010 - PRLog -- The idea behind Flyfishmap.com is to empower fly fishers and fly fishing businesses from around the world to add geolocated information to the site. The site is free to join and its free for users to create and position information markers. Information is added according to a number of categories which include fly fishing locations, guides, tackle shops, tuition, accommodation, property for sale and conservation. Users can also easily add and geolocate photos and YouTube videos.

As the site grows, planning that perfect trip will never be easier as users will be able to use Flyfishmap as a one stop shop to research and discover all of the services they'll need in the area they next intend to fish.

Fly fishing companies adding their listings to the site benefit from free advertising and links back to their site which is great for their own SEO and exposure of their business to a highly targeted audience.  Standard business type markers include a description, photo, web link and Share button which enables users finding their markers the ability to share them with their friends via numerous channels.

Business's are also able to upgrade their markers to Premium Markers and include full screen photo slideshows and videos, for a nominal annual fee. Premium markers are also promoted by Flyfishmap through their social media channels and email newsletter.

Since launch Flyfishmap has developed a strong presence of both Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/flyfishmap) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/flyfishmap) and uses these sites to develop its community and share interesting and useful new content added to the site.

It also set up a fly fishing industry group on Linked In, called Fly Fishing Network, which already boasts an impressive list of fly fishing professionals from the tackle trade, guides, destinations, writers and environmental and conservation groups.

Flyfishmap (http://www.flyfishmap.com) has numerous plans to expand and develop the concept and become the premier resource for planning fly fishing trips.
