The never ending site construction and destruction

It had been a goal to give the site a new look, it wasn't a goal to inadvertantly take nearly 10 years worth of content and delete it.  As you might imagine, it is a very sore topic for me.  I don't think I have the words to describe how painstakingly hard it will be to get everything back up.  I will be focusing on the Special Features and getting a Fishing Blog started for 2012.  I apologize for how lacking the site will be until I get all of this work completed.  The goal is all pages back up with content by 03.01.2012.  Thank you for your patience during this process.

Welcome to CoolWaterFish!

The concept was simple... Create a fishing website dedicated to the appreciation of all species of fish.  After all, I was a passionate multi species angler and was tired of nearly all of the sites focusing only on the popular widely accepted sport/gamefish.  So in the fall of 2002, CWF was born.  My goal would be to provide entertaining accounts of my on the water fishing experiences as they happen.  Through this, it would be my hope for folks to see how much fun I was having and maybe change a few opinions of the under-appreciated species along the way.

Nearly a decade later, the site has evolved to not only cover the fish, but the areas I catch them.  It is no secret that I love Ohio, especially the northern portion where I do the bulk of my fishing.  I also have added other pages for info and reference, as well as, pages where I rant or post my random thoughts and musings.  Please take your time and explore the site, comments and feedback are always welcomed.  I thank you for stopping by and hope you return soon.
