"We have assembled the most comprehensive network of fishing reports ever," said Richard Marks, CEO of Fishhound.  "Anglers can log in and get all the important information they need on where and when to go, what flies to use and even get weather and water conditions. And they have the ability to customize it to specific waters and spots they're interested in."
