RELEASE: 1st comprehensive world fly fishing directory launches online

By Anonymous

BOZEMAN, MT June 3, 2004--onFlyFishing, Inc. http://www.onFlyFishing.com/

Montana-based onFlyFishing, Inc. has developed and launched onFlyFishing.com, the Web's 1st comprehensive fly fishing directory. onFlyFishing organizes, defines and presents the entire fly fishing industry across the globe, increases participation in the sport of fly fishing and helps fly fishing professionals build business online. The new Web directory is a unique resource for both consumers and professionals.

For fly fishers, onFlyFishing is the single online resource to list every available fly fishing Web site in the world within a single, searchable Web directory.

For fly fishing industry professionals, onFlyFishing provides the only comprehensive directory site which is not in direct competition with industry businesses as a retailer of products or destination travel services.

Today the audience of fly fishers worldwide is estimated to be 50 million strong, of which 16 million are in North America. Many of these fly fishers are online, and their challenge has been to find what they need among the multiple thousands of fly fishing Web sites worldwide. Though online fishing directories do exist, none are comprehensive and all lack objectivity. Most compete directly within the fly fishing and destination travel industries as private retailers of products or travel services.

As a result, fly fishers have a biased and incomplete picture of available resources. And the fly fishing industry has been handicapped, unable to fully utilize the Web to build business and marketshare.

onFlyFishing, Inc. now answers these needs with the world's 1st comprehensive fly fishing directory. The staff of onFlyFishing works ongoing with industry professionals as they gather the entire world of fly fishing onto a single Web site. Currently 7000 listings drawn from 42 countries are represented in over 35 distinct categories. Every day professionals from Belize to Bozeman, MT. continue to add and update listings, ensuring the directory is comprehensive, accurate and up to date.

For complete information on the functionality and benefits of onFlyFishing, please contact President Scott T. Smith at mailto:admin@onFlyFishing.com , phone 406.586.4112 or visit the new site on the Web at http://www.onFlyFishing.com/

Alaskan Halibut Fishing

By Rayboptions

If you are looking for a Great Fishing Adventure then you must go to Alaska and fish for Halibut. As you will see it’s more than just a fishing trip.

I recently went to Alaska (for the first time) to go Halibut fishing, and got much more than I had expected. After flying across the country in big jumbo jets, when you leave for the lodge from Juneau you go in a Float Plane or Sea Plane, as they are commonly known. I went in a single passenger Plane, just the Pilot and me sitting side by side. The flight to the lodge takes you over and between many Mountains that are always Snow capped. You take off on the water and land on the water, if you have never done this before it’s a great experience all by itself.

Once at the Lodge (always Saturday) within a half-hour you have your License and are on the boat heading out to sea. Besides the Halibut I caught Coho and King Salmon, Ling Cod, Red Snapper. The largest Halibut I caught was 140 pounds, King Salmon was 40 pounds, Coho Salmon was 15 pounds and the Ling Cod was 44 pounds. Work your muscles before you go because you will definitely be sore after the first days fishing, you can use the Hot Tub to relax after you return.

If you want to go Stream Fishing with either Spinning or Fly-fishing gear that’s also available. We encountered Bear’s also fishing in the stream.

Besides the Bear along the Streams you will also see Bald Eagles, Seals, Sea Otters, Sea Lions and if you’re lucky as we were you will see a Whale or two. Bring cameras and/or camcorders.

The food is fantastic. Full breakfast, eggs, pancakes, omelets. Lunch on the boat, sandwiches, soda, beer, smoked Salmon. Dinner is mainly the fish caught that day but served like you’ve never had fish prepared before, we also had a Steak dinner.

The fish that are caught each day are fillet and frozen in separate vacuumed sealed packages. Each package is a pound of two and you choose the % of each type of fish caught you take home. I took 75% Halibut and 25% Salmon and had about 100 pounds of frozen fish in two ready to take boxes.

As you can see this is a very professional operation and I guarantee when you go that you will agree that it’s more than just a fishing trip, it’s an Alaskan adventure. For information please visit the web-site of the very best Fishing Lodge in Alaska: http://Tanaku.com

I am not a professional fisherman just a Webmaster that needs some downtime. My web-site is Digital Cameras, Free Shipping. We sell a complete line of Digital Cameras, Scanners, Printers, Free Cell Phones, Free Satellite Dish Systems, Cable Descramblers. We accept most Major Credit Cards and have Free Shipping.

2004 Ennis on the Madison Fly Fishing Festival

By Anonymous

August 1, 2004 -- Incorporated into the Festival is a strong conservation theme. Displays, presentations and tours will highlight this emphasis with these participating organizations:

- American Wild Lands
- Big Hole River Foundation
- Ennis National Fish Hatchery
- Madison River Foundation
- Madison Valley History Association
- Madison Valley Ranchlands Group
- Montana Dept. Fish, Wildlife & Parks
- onFlyFishing Fly Fishing Directory
- Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
- Trout Unlimited
- U.S. Forest Service
- Wildlife Conservation Society

Further enhancing the Festival are works of prominent artists in residence and those represented by local studios and galleries. Participants include Wild Crane Studio, Showcasing Montana, Hole in the Wall Gallery, Best of the West, River Stone Gallery, Bear Feather Studio, Rusty Cowboy and Otter Banks.

Adding flavor and zest to the Festival will be a number of dining and entertainment events. Cuisine options will range from fine dining to old fashioned Bar BQ. Evening music will feature country & western, old fashioned rock & roll and lively classic presented by the Montana Mandolin Society.

Admission to the Festival is free, except for ticketed dining and entertainment events. However, attendees are encouraged to purchase a $5 Festival Button to help support the Festival. These buttons are numbered and will make the participant eligible for many raffle prizes donated by local businesses, ranging in value from $25 to $1,000. A special drawing will be held on Sunday for a 15 foot, low-profile Clacka Craft drift boat valued at $8,000. Tickets for this drawing are $10 and can be purchased at a number of locations in Ennis.

The 2004 Ennis on the Madison Fly Fishing Festival will be an entertaining and informative event. Many volunteers have worked diligently to provide the public with a quality cultural experience, but there is another equally important value the Festival extends to outdoor enthusiasts. Excess proceeds from the Festival will be invested directly in organized efforts to protect and enhance trout habitat and watershed quality in and around the Madison Valley. This effort is maturing and more information will soon be available to generate awareness of this important endeavor.
