About-Flyfishing.com Brings Fly Shops Closer To Home

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 12, 2011 -- While in past decades it was difficult to find a shop that catered to the needs of the fly fisherman, today everyone from the local bait shop to Walmart offers a few fly fishing products. However, dedicated anglers know that there's no place quite like a local fly shop to find out about what's hatching, what flies are working where, and the best equipment to use on the local water.

But if you are traveling in unfamiliar settings, it can be difficult to know where to look for any last minute supplies and advice. Fly anglers are known to travel extensively to practice their hobby. From packing rods and tackle to make stops when traveling on business trips, to going so far off the beaten track they need to be paddled in by boat or dropped of by helicopter, dedicated anglers go great distances to fish new waters.

That's why Ian Scott, owner of About Fly Fishing (http://about-flyfishing.com), created the Fly Fishing business directory. "It's great to have a way to find the fly shops, guides, and lodging options for wherever you are heading," he said, "and if other anglers have recommended the businesses, that's even better."

About Fly Fishing, one of the Internet's top fly fishing sites, has been offering articles, tips, fly patterns, and other resources to fly anglers for nearly ten years. Adding a business directory was just a natural step.

"I've always had listings of businesses on my site, but by adding location information, it has been made that much more useful," Scott said.

He encourages fly shop owners to check and verify their listing information, and fly anglers to come and write reviews of their favorite fly shops. "Sharing information with other anglers only makes our sport better."
