The team at The Online Fisherman is a widely-varied collection of outdoor writers, professional fishing guides, conservationists, fishing club members, and just plain fishermen and fisherwomen (and fisher-kids, our personal favorites) whose love for the sport and the environment in which we enjoy it is one of the primary blessings of our lives. A site like The Online Fisherman is far from being the work of a single person - or even two or three. Rather it's a community -- a community that grows and evolves with the people who read the content, contribute to the forums we provide, send us pictures, and share their fishing -- and life -- experiences with each other.We're glad you're here -- and in the months and years to come we hope to provide you with the most interesting, educational, meaningful, and entertaining copy about the sport of fishing you'll find anywhere.

Welcome to the team. And we mean it. If any of you are interested in participating in the growth of this website, contact us about writing a story, moderating our forums, helping with Operation Still Waters, our volunteer efforts with the Make a Wish foundation, and more. There's always work to do and people needed to do it.

Building and managing a web site like this is hardly a three-hour a week project. With your help, it can become the best resource the fishing community has ever seen. Without it, it'll only be another fishing site :)
