Fishhound.com’s new mobile app allows pros to update fishing reports while on the water

Sept. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- SHERMAN OAKS, CALIFORNIA – Fishhound, the world’s only provider of Fishing Intelligence, announced today the release of a new app for mobile phones making it easier for the country’s top fly-fishing shops, guides and lodges to quickly input the latest information into Fishhound’s new comprehensive network of fishing reports.

The free FishhoundPro app is available to Fishhound’s growing staff of contributors – now close to 200 shops, guides and lodges. The Fishhound pros will use the app to quickly update where, when and on what fish are biting. That information will be loaded on Fishhound.com, a site dedicated to bringing anglers the most in-depth collection of fishing reports.

The Fishhound app can be found at the Android Marketplace, with iPhone and BlackBerry versions released next.

“To make Fishhound head and shoulders above other fishing reports, we’re offering anglers the freshest, most up-to-date information there is,” said Richard Marks, CEO of Fishhound. “Key to fishing reports is the latest and greatest information. This smartphone app allows Fishhound’s pros to provide the low-down from places like the stream or at the boat ramp. We can’t get any fresher Fishing Intelligence than that.”

The easy-to-use app allows fishing information to be stored in phones even in any location – even areas without cell service – with the option to download once a signal is obtained.

A monthly Fishhound subscription ($9.95) allows anglers to log in and obtain the important information they need on where and when to fish, what flies to use and even get weather and water conditions. Saving time and increasing the odds of fishing success, a Fishhound subscription provides interactive maps, hatch information, updated conditions and other personalized data to anglers’ desktops or mobile devices. A free 30-day trial is available right now at http://www.fishhound.com.

Advised by an influential, and expanding roster of about 200, guides and lodges, Fishhound’s “Fishing Intelligence™ Reports” include personalized angler home pages with 7-Day Fishing Forecasts, quick links to favorite waters and hatches, My Hatch Tracker with up-to-date hatch tracking on any river in the U.S, fly suggestions driven by the most extensive entomology database on the internet, and technique and tactical advice from the best in the sport. Fishhound reports are updated frequently, meaning subscribers get the freshest, most insightful reports available anywhere.

The current roster of Fishhound pros includes Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters in California, Henry’s Fork Outfitter in Idaho, Montana River Outfitters in Montana and Block Island Fishworks in Rhode Island.
