Take a Reporter Fishing

[Billfish715]

If you are out on a stream or lake for opening day and have a camera (most of us do) please take some pictures of the fishing activity around you. Get pictures of kids or families or just happy anglers holding a fish or a stringer of fish or just a picture of someone who is fishing. Then, send those pictures to your local newspaper with a short blurb about the who and where. We have no newspapers as such anymore with state-wide subscribers.

The local papers are still somehow in business and it is through them that we can promote our issues and seek new blood within our ranks. Try to convince your local paper to publish your pictures and to perhaps write a short followup to the opening day of trout fishing in your area. Fishing boards like this one are great for those of us who actually fish, but the average person who might be persuaded to go fishing won't read these posts. Believe it or not, we need more adults to take up the sport so they can encourage others in their families to join them. Keep the fishing tradition alive.
