Fly Fishing for the Masses
Fly Fishing, a distinctively "non-tech" sport, has found the best use of technology in fishing since the "super worm."
(PRWEB) August 6, 2005 -- You are likely to have heard about fly fishing. You
are likely to know that this is a sport based more on knowledge than luck. You
may even know that the sport of fly fishing is perfect not only for globe
hopping executives, but is also widely enjoyed by retirees, fathers,
professional women, and a new generation of outdoor loving teenagers.
The
sport of fly fishing has a long tradition. Knowledge is passed down from those
who possess it, to those who seek it. The only problem is that there only few
who possess it, and too many who seek it. Every year, the Federation of Fly
Fishers holds their annual Fly Fishing Show and Conclave. It is an intensive
week of classes, demonstrations, workshops, and a lot of fishing. Every year
access to this "super bowl" of knowledge transfer is limited, and the available
class room slots fill up within hours. Leaving many out for yet another
year.
Bob Wiltshire is the COO of the Federation of Fly Fishers. He wants
to make the annual Conclave available to everyone with a passion for the sport.
"We have been examining the problem for several years. Too many people who would
like to participate and not enough instructors to meet the demand" says Bob
Wiltshire the COO of the Fly Fishing Federation. We are proud to announce that
this year marks the first step in solving this problem. We have partnered with
YourFishingEvents.com to bring all of our training offered at this year’s
Conclave to those people who have a broadband connection to the Internet. "We
believe that the sport of fly fishing brings fun, health, and an important
message of conservation to its participants. We would like to share those
messages with more of the world" says William Egar of YourFishingEvents.com.
"The sport of fly fishing benefits when it is shared with the audience trying to
reach it. We simply want to make access to the tremendous resources amassed at
Conclave available to everyone who seeks it."
Quote from Bob Wiltshire,
COO of the Federation of Fly Fishers: "Our International Fly Fishing Show and
Conclave offers enthusiasts the chance to take classes and participate in
activities with the most talented and renowned fly fishermen in the world. These
experts come together for five days, volunteering their time and effort to help
sportsmen of all levels improve their technique and enhance their knowledge of
the sport. The pros also teach the FFF’s message of conservation and its vital
role in the future of fly fishing. We are excited to be spreading this
experience and our message to more people than ever before by working with
YourFishingEvents.com to broadcast over the Internet select events from the show
to viewers everywhere."
Starting on August 11th, 2005, those who have
purchased their "access pass" will be able to watch the best of the best show
their secrets, methods, and techniques from any living room or office in the
world that has a broadband connection. The web casts will be available after
this year’s conclave too. Pat Case was a participant in last years Conclave, "I
was lucky enough to attended last year, there is so much knowledge given and so
little time to soak it all in. I think YourFishingEvents.com has an excellent
product that will enable guys like me to get the most out of the
experience."
The Fly Fishing Federation is the world’s premiere
institution promoting the sport of fly fishing. YourFishingEvents.com is a web
casting company formed to support and promote fishing sports around the

our web casting system. We look forward to helping the FFF share their
world-class event with more fans than ever before and to spread their important
message of conservation to a worldwide audience. Now fly fishing enthusiasts who
would normally be unable to participate in the FFF’s event due to geographic,
financial, or time-related constraints will be able to experience and enjoy the
best of the five day event from their own homes."
