Supporting Quotes
"I was hired by Fishhound to deliver a new type of content to readers. I've taken long-form writers and asked for short-form. I've created daily photo-blogs. In the case of Ron Lindner, I've asked him to simply provide me with anything he'd like to publish – from old photos to new videos to letters, artifacts and more. We're pushing and pumping out video. We're exploring fly tying, history, stewardship, business and competition in new and exciting formats. We're integrating feeds for the content through popular social media platforms. I firmly believe this is the most talented and diverse team of contributors in the business. Just be sure to visit the new blog section at least once a day to make sure you don't miss a beat."
