I'd more than happy to take anyone out for a day fishing, no trade needed.
In fact, if it's the weekend, I'd probably be going anyway, so no change for
gas either. I know I have twice as much gear as I need, so no problem if
you don't have your tackle with you either. Anyone that has a free
Saturday, Sunday, or week-night, and is going to be in Northwestern
Wisconsin, send me an email and I'd be happy to see if we could hook up.

I've been looking to either start or participate in a group of
fishermen, mainly freshwater, who would be willing to trade a day of
fishing on their favorite lake or stream in exchange for traveling to
another's favorite waters. I had in mind a spreadsheet listing by
first name, email, hometown, name of favorite water, type of fishing
and species. I'd think that visitors would bring their own tackle and
pay for gas if using the home fisher's boat.
Of course, sharing cost of live bait if used would be the other
expense involved. Is there an organization with this objective? If
you know of one or would be willing to participate in one, please
advise.
Each participant would probably be limited to a max of two trips
without providing or receiving, so it wouldn't be possible to abuse
this trip trading system. Say, Angler A fishes Angler B's water, then
later Angler B could take a trip to Angler C's water and so on. Just
maintaining a spreadsheet and fielding emails of interested anglers,
and keeping track of the trips taken would be the approach to making
this project a reality. Let me know your views.
