High-intent readers
People land here searching for licenses, spots, and gear — the exact moments a shop, guide, or lodge becomes relevant.
For shops, guides & lodges
Put your business in front of anglers planning their next trip.
FishingBuddy readers arrive with intent: they're checking licenses, picking water, and deciding where to buy gear — often in your city, days before they go. A featured placement puts your shop in that decision.

01Why FishingBuddy
An audience that's already reaching for its rod.
We don't sell impressions to random traffic. We connect local fishing businesses with anglers researching trips in their exact region.
Local by design
City guides for Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, and Halifax mean your placement sits beside the water your customers fish.
Curated, not cluttered
A small number of partners per city, clearly labelled, in a design built to be browsed — no banner farms, no pop-ups, no race to the bottom.
Built for search & AI
The site is structured for search engines and AI assistants, so partner listings ride along when anglers ask where to fish and where to shop.
02Placements
Three ways to get featured.
Simple placements with a clear label and a direct link to your store, booking page, or map listing. Pricing depends on region and season — get in touch for current rates.

03Our standards
What we promise readers — and you.
Always labelled
Partner placements are clearly marked. Readers trust the site because we never blur the line between guidance and promotion — which makes the placements themselves more credible.
Reviewed before listed
We feature businesses we'd send a friend to. That keeps the company you share the page with worth sharing it with.
Limited inventory
A handful of partners per city and per guide. When a region is full, it's full — your placement isn't diluted the month after you buy it.
