“Thank you for creating a wonderful site where we can spend some time being close to the rivers we love when we can't be on the rivers we love...” - a reader in Walnut Creek, California.

Advertising Opportunities with an Exciting New Internet Magazine for Worldwide Fly Fishers

In its first year of operation A River Never Sleeps hooked up with fly fishermen in over 20 countries, recording more than one million site visits.

As word spreads around the Internet, more and more fly fishermen - an average of 8,500 a day now hit the site from 46 countries- are logging on to the magazine, which features the work of award winning photo journalists, writers and illustrators.

The site has a strong conservation ethic, while celebrating the beauty and pleasure of fly fishing. The approach has struck a chord with anglers in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Sweden, Japan, Norway, Finland, Italy, Germany and Australia to name a few.

The magazine is published monthly, in Vancouver, British Columbia by a core team of professionals, all of whom are dedicated and experienced fly fishermen.

Advertising Opportunities:
Until now we have not been accepting advertising. Our whole focus has been on content, and establishing a strong relationship with our readers. Now we are offering two different advertising opportunities on A River Never Sleeps.

Our January 2001 Cover
Site Partners:
For the first time, we are offering the opportunity for a few, select businesses to identify with our site by becoming sponsorship partners - and connect with fly fishermen globally. A small number of sponsors will be given banner space on the cover, which records about 17,000 hits on the first of each month, and which holds readers with its graphic content and sound of a trout stream.

This is the main entry point to the site, but many have bookmarked the contents page, or their favorite column. In total, there are 200 html pages on the site, all of which will also show the Site Partner banner, associating advertisers with stories about fly fishing around the world.

Banners will appear on all of our more than 200 current and past issue pages, which are available through our “Back Issues” section, solidly branding our Site Partners to the magazine. These banners which will be 95x50 pixels and be directly linked to your site or to a splash page of your design linked to your site. To see this option in action click on the Sage ad right.

Your ad will also have a statistics package which will monitor how many impressions your ad receives.

A River Never Sleeps is a full feature Internet fly fishing site with regular feature pages posted monthly, a searchable back issues section and an online guestbook, discussion list, postcard centre and frequently updated “News Bytes” feature which is linked off the cover with a scrolling text alert.

There are travel pieces, articles on science and nature, a regular “Fly Box” feature that explores the world of entomology as well as musings by our regular columnists. Coming soon: a regular series by Kathy Ruddick, three-time member of Canada’s World Fly Fishing team, who will take a young woman under her tutelage, and teach her how to fly fish.
