Make A Small Fortune In The Fishing Industry...

....now there is a headline you don't see very often.In fact, I have never seen it.

Unless you start out with a large fortune and slowly pitter it away while in pursuit of our friends who live beneath the waves, most people don't enter the exciting world of the fishing industry to seek fame and fortune. There are rarely any recruiters from Salmon canneries knocking on your door as you bask in the glory of graduation from college, nor do you pick up a copy of Entrepeneur Magazine and find" fisherman" as a hot start-up franchise. Guys wearing lots of "bling" and chest waders rarely come sloshing into your business and hand you a business card and brochure claiming that: "for a $10,000 investment I can help you triple your income in thirty days...GUARANTEED!!"

In fact, I even googled "Make Money Fishing" and came away with 313 responses and the disheartening notion that if you choose fishing as a way of life--you are pretty much destined for a life of relaxed mediocrity. There of course are some exceptions, like tournament bass fisherman, or guys selling fishing adventures to Mars--but for the most part --if you have some startling epiphany that "I want to make my fortune in fishing"- you are barking up the wrong riffle.

Some other samples from the make money fishing offerings:

1.Russ Roy-- Offers up a slightly "tongue in cheek" article, stating that we fisherman can earn extra cash slathering stinky fish attractants and fish "sputem" on our jeans and then resell them on perhaps ebay as "designer fisher wear". Complete with fish hook holes. I only say slightly "tongue in cheek"--because they probably would sell -- especially in some posh Beverly Hills boutique on Rodeo drive.

"Oh dahling, those salmon roe encrusted Jordaches make your tush look devine!!"

Heck, throw in a "roostertail" 1/4 ounce zipper and I might buy a pair myself.

2. A New England commercial fisherman is selling his fishing operation--He is "grossing" about $80K per year and claims a "cash flow" of $53k. Asking price $105k.
The "hook" here is the benefit of leaving the rat race for the "open seas".
I have to ask myself," does this mean he wants to re-enter the rat race??" Health issues force sale?? Wear funky woolen sweaters!

NO THANKS!

Oh and by the way-- it is a one man operation--so have fun running around that boat and giving orders to yourself, or you can hire someone and pretty much watch your $53k disappear.

No fortune there.

3. Make your own fishing lures-- This might give you some self satisfaction, or relieve some tension--which in itself might be a nice benefit for the rest of society- and I suppose if you can get $3.00 a lure you can actually triple your income as a current fly tier...However, I doubt you are going to make a fortune, unless you can break into a already saturated market of fishing lure producers or you live to be 116 and can sell them on ebay as "antiques".

I really couldn't find any bonafide "get rich in fishing" schemes, except for the tournament fisherman offerings, which pretty much isn't considered fishing at that point.

Not even an MLM scheme-- "You see, you buy 12 fish and send them to each of the Kingfishers in your UPLINE-- and then you move up from carp level!!" --"When you move to the top of the "pyramid anchor"and become a "Marlin" you will then receive 64,000 FISH in your mailbox!"

Are you in?

So I guess we fishermen will have to retreat to the "zen-minimalist" philosophy of : less is more, if we want to consider ourselves "wealthy" or "rich".

At least by fishing standards, we can consider ourselves rich in outdoor experiences, or having a wealth of fishing knowledge. Not to mention, that the Toyota Chinook camper is paid for!!

According to my good friend"Webster" fortune is defined as :prosperity attained partly through luck... AND who knows more about luck than a fisherman!!!

So, keep trying to sell those Rolex imatations, cheap pharmaceuticals, and"secrets" to success on ebay.

The competition is a lot less in:" the road to fishing riches" market.
Which can only lead to a lot of "downtime", which can certainly be filled with..... FISHING!

Besides, I have never heard it said that: "the time spent selling cialis on the internet is not deducted from one's life"--have you?

Fly fishing techniques for lakes

Lake fly fishing techniques are similar to those of any other types ofwater except you don't have to deal with currents. In lakes fish haveto aggressively search for food and are more likely to be tempted by anything that looks edible than their fussier river cousins.

Lake fly fishing techniques are similar to those of any other types ofwater except you don't have to deal with currents. In lakes fish haveto aggressively search for food and are more likely to be tempted by anything that looks edible than their fussier river cousins.

Often lake fish will gather in schools and cruise around looking forfood, but often it is the small fish that rise to take surface insectswhile the bigger ones feed in deeper water.

Where the fish are.

Fish in lakes aren't much different than fish in rivers. Their concerns are still protection from predators and finding food. Lake fly fishing techniques involved finding the areas where both these concerns are met.

Remember that lake water is generally deeper than rivers water, so bottom structures may not be visible. Try fishing where a stream enters the lake. Insects are often carried into the lake here and the fish will be waiting for them.

Structure in lakes includes piers and boat ramps, weeded areas and deadfalls. Fish are likely to be hanging around man-made structures that have been sunken into the waters. Lake fish like to hang around drop off areas. Here they can munch on food that has fallen into thewater and dart back into the depths when spooked. Warm water fish gather around natural springs and weeds also.

Dry flies and lake fishing

Lake fly fishing techniques usually involved fishing deep. It takesenergy for a fish to take insects from the surface and there has tobe a darned good reason for a bigger fish to do so. A big hatch might entice a large fish from the depths to feed, but you are morelikely to catch smaller fish when using dry flies on lakes.

Wet flies and lake fishing

If a fish expends more energy than he receives in searching for food,he will not survive long. Lake fishing techniques include knowinghow an aggressively feeding fish will behave. He will check out the feeding zones, feed, then return to safe water to rest untilit is feeding time again. If you are looking for large lake fish,you need to get your hook down where they are holding.

The larger the fish, the more energy it takes for him to feed, therefore the offering needs to be worthwhile. A big juicy-looking streamer hanging right in front of his nose will often tempt a fish.

The advantage of fishing wets over dries in lakes is that you canvary the depth and the retrieve until you find the combination that the fish cannot resist. Keep a close eye on your line becauseoften the take is subtle. Using a strike indicator is helpful here.

Often a sinking line or sink tip can give you a big advantage whenfly fishing a lake. You have a much greater chance for success if you can get your fly to the fish.

New to Fishing?

If you are new to fishing, you will need to do some simple research in order to succeed. There are many types of fishing including fly fishing, bass fishing, and ice fishing. You will need to learn about fishing knots, fishing tackle, and even fishing lures. Sound like a lot of information? To be successful, you can do some simple research and gain valuable information. The Internet or the library can be great ways to get this information easily.

You will need to find out what type of fishing you want to do. Do you want to learn to fly fish? Fly fishing is mainly done in rivers. Most of the time, a fisherman will stand in the water while fishing. You will need to use a specific fly fishing pole which is longer then the average fishing pole. It is also more flexible to withstand more pressure.

A different type of fishing, is bass fishing. In bass fishing you are fishing specifically for bass. It is traditionally done from a fishing boat rather then standing in the water. Obviously, you will need to research locations which will provide you with this type of fish. Ice fishing, as it's name implies, is usually done in cold weather. You may purchase additional equipment for ice fishing, such as huts which are small ice fishing houses that will provide shelter.

Once you choose which type of fishing you would like to learn and eventually do, you will need to invest in the proper equipment. Items you will need to consider include large items like fishing boats and small items like fishing lures and fishing tackle. What you chose will have an effect on how well your fishing adventures will be. You will need to learn trades of the fishing as well. Learning to tie fishing knots is an example of this. Many people find that experience is the best tool to learning, but you can learn a lot from research as well. Consider researching locations and license requirements too as this information is vital to success in fishing.

By rethinking product design from the ground-up, we've created an impressive line up of fly-fishing storage products and accessories that look great, and outperform anything else available on the market. We started with a few simple ideas: design and create a tippet dispenser, develop an innovative cutting tool or clipper, and reshape the fly storage category with the creation of a series of soft-sided cases and chest packs. Our simple ideas turned into very complex design obstacles and challenged some of the best industrial designers in the country, yet we've succeeded with our vision and created a line of revolutionary accessory products that will stand the test of time. Fishpond is all about design and function . We are the first to bring a functional tippet dispenser to the market-one that stores, straightens, cuts and dispenses tippet material directly from most commercially manufactured freshwater tippet spools. Look for our saltwater version in the coming months. Tired of plastic and aluminum fly boxes? We've also created an entirely new product category with our molded nylon and soft-sided fly cases. With ease-of-use in mind, brightly colored jacquard webbing on the spine serves as a hand strap to securely hold the case while on the water. This gives our cases their signature style and unparalleled function. To keep us on the cutting edge, we're redefining the accessory segment with revolutionary products like our patented, ergonomically designed Titanium Clippers with optional integrated retractor that make competitive tools based on the traditional nail clipper obsolete. Our research has told us that fly-fishing enthusiasts want to lighten their load. In response to this trend, fishpond has created two new chest/fanny packs that can complement or replace the traditional fishing vest. Each product has our signature zip-down "fly bench" with a replaceable foam fly page that serves as a convenient fly changing station and work area. At fishpond, we're committed to staying on the leading edge of fly-fishing product design, and we're already hard at work on the next generation of new products to enhance our position as an emerging leader with our dealer-partners and customers.
