Articles

If you would like to try your hand at writing about our favorite sport, please e-mail me with a proposed topic. I pay $50 per article, and the articles should be 750 to 1,000 words. You don't have to be a world-class writer; I will polish the article. Just provide information on an interesting fishing hole, technique, point of view, etc. Payment will be made when the article is posted to the Web site. A lot of people would benefit from the combined knowledge of the anglers that frequent this site, so I hope many of you will take this opportunity to share your experiences.
