Would you use such a website?

[Ten Horse Johnson]

If the following website existed, would you use it as an initial research tool for a Canadian fishing provider?

-Searchable database of all (or virtually all) Canadian fishing outfitters
-Search by geography, fish species, drivein/boat-in/flyin, American Plan/Housekeeping, guide service on site etc
-Search by lake to see which outfit(s) serve(s) them
-Within the search results, you can read and post user reviews of specific lodges and lakes

Would such a site ever be useful to you? Just curious...

YES!! Sounds great. A one stop shop of all your Outfitter needs.

Always curious why do they call it an American Plan??
Nothing in America is all inclusive?? There is always a fee above & beyond.
The only plans I found all inclusive is in mexico & trust me you will pay for it

Would such a site be useful hek ya but they already RRR! (walley central)

Air Ivanhoe had a forum going & had to shut it down. I Give credit to the forums up & running it takes more monitoring then we can ever imagine.

Knot to knock you off your horse, info is always good but watch out the bulls they can run ya over!!

Not talking about a discussion forum, more like Yelp meets Lake-Link.com with a Canadian emphasis.

I used to check Ivanhoe's forum quite often. Why did they get rid of it?

I would check out a website you have described. especially if it includes:

"you can read and post user reviews of specific lodges and lakes"

However, Walleye Central with it's Canada, Eh? board does a lot of the same.....

Good luck,

That website has very few outfitters on it (either a new site or requesting money to join I imagine) and their location points are typical google - nowhere near the actual camp.
Great idea but I think Sunset Country already does much of what you want. They do not have the review section but isn't that why we are here on walleye Central?

check real outdoors web site. they have a virtual sport show on it with some outfitters on it. they are looking to make it bigger amd better in the future.

According to George & Joel local people where hacking into the forum instead of joining. People would be getting info on there lakes & cutting trails to sneak in & fish. One lake that I was on 2 years ago , Lincoln, we had some surprising visitors. Told the pilot on the mid week flight where they came onto the lake at & he followed the trail to a logging road. So much for a private lake! Just goes to show takes 1 or 2 bad apples to ruin the hole bushel.
