What your ad looks like

Every format carries the “Sponsored” badge and your name before anything else, on a surface no organic result uses, and never moves an organic listing. Prices appear only if you set one, labelled as yours. Videos start muted when they scroll into view, pause when they leave and play sound only when someone taps “Sound on”. No pop-ups, at most one or two units on a page, and nothing at all when no ad fits the page.

Matched to the page, never to the person

  • Place: destination hubs, waters, US states and international regions, countries.
  • Distance: lodging and guides can show only where a destination or water lies within a radius of their own location.
  • Travel: flights by the airports nearest a destination; car and RV rental by region.
  • Trip: the trip planner’s destination, water and month; trip type; gear kit.
  • Page and screen: page type (destination, water, trip planner, directory, gear, Learn, Community) and phone or computer.

Be there when anglers decide

Anglers come here when they are planning a trip, choosing a river, picking a guide and buying gear. Your ad sits right beside that decision, clearly labelled as sponsored.

  • Pay only for real attention. A view counts only when your ad is actually on screen, and a click only when it is real.
  • Conservation and non-profits pay half: 50% of list, once verified.

The small print. US dollars, before any tax. These are our published list prices for launch and may change; the price that applies is the one shown in your campaign when you submit it.

A view is a viewable impression: at least half the ad on screen for a full second, in a session that showed a human signal. CPM is the price per 1,000 viewable impressions. Clicks count only when they pass our duplicate and abuse checks. Conservation and non-profit advertisers pay 50% of list once verified.

A flat monthly sponsorship covers one destination or water for a calendar month: exclusive means only your ads in that placement on that page; shared means rotating with up to two other sponsors. Sponsorships are charged once, when approved, and their impressions and clicks are free.

Audience

Audience figures are available on request. We publish traffic numbers only when our analytics can stand behind them, and we never sell or share data about the people who visit.

A flat monthly sponsorship, priced on real traffic

For the first businesses to back the site: one placement on every page of a kind, one flat price a month, and the audience those pages actually had, counted from our own first-party analytics. People only: automated traffic and sessions that never showed a human signal are left out.

  • Where to stay, destination hubs

    $300 a month

    The “where to stay” cards on every destination hub, US and international.

    For: Lodges, cabins, guest ranches, travel and tourism offices.

    25 page views and 14 visits (sessions) on these pages since October 14, 2026, when measurement began, people only.

  • Destination hubs

    $250 a month

    One card on every destination hub, after its guides and shops.

    For: Guides, gear, boats, conservation and services.

    25 page views and 14 visits (sessions) on these pages since October 14, 2026, when measurement began, people only.

  • Water pages

    $200 a month

    One card on every water page, after the guides and shops near the water.

    For: Guides, lodging, gear, boats, conservation and services.

    91 page views and 74 visits (sessions) on these pages since October 14, 2026, when measurement began, people only.

Terms

  • One flat price a month, charged once when the operator approves the sponsorship; no per-impression or per-click charges.
  • Your card is labelled “Sponsored” and names you before anything else, and it never changes the order of guides, shops or waters around it.
  • Matched to the page, never to the person reading it.
  • Make-good: if the pages you sponsor receive fewer human-confirmed page views during your sponsored month than the 30-day figure shown here on the day you signed, we extend your sponsorship free, day for day, until the shortfall is delivered, or, if you prefer, credit the unused share of the fee to your advertising balance. Page views are counted the same way as the figure: people only, automated traffic excluded.
  • Founding rates hold for as long as you renew month to month without a break.

How the numbers are counted

  • A page view is one page shown in a browser session that showed a human signal (a tap, a click, a key or ten seconds in view); crawlers and automation are excluded.
  • A visit (session) is one browser tab’s visit; one person can make several.
  • The figure is read when this page is built and refreshed hourly. It is the audience of the pages, not a promise of impressions.
Apply as a founding partnerMention “founding partner” in your application; the operator applies the founding rate to your sponsorship.

A prepaid balance, or an invoice

  • Add credit to a prepaid balance; per-event charges draw it down and campaigns pause, never overdraw, at zero. Accounts on invoice terms serve up to the credit limit we agree with you (none until agreed) and get a printable invoice due in 30 days.
  • Card payments are coming soon. Until then, request an invoice from your billing page; the credit lands in your ledger when it is paid.
  • No platform fee and no card surcharge (0% and 0%). Prices exclude any sales tax or VAT. Where tax applies to your account it is calculated and shown at checkout or on the invoice before you pay.
  • We give 5% of our advertising revenue to watershed conservation and veterans’ fishing groups. Who receives it, and what we have given each year.
  • Daily and total budgets on every per-event campaign; every credit and charge is on your ledger with the balance after it.

What you see

  • Viewable impressions (half the ad on screen for a full second), the human-confirmed ones you pay for, clicks, click-through rate and spend, by placement, campaign, day and destination or water.
  • CSV export of every report.
  • Aggregates only. We never give an advertiser a list of people who saw or clicked an ad.

From application to the first impression

  1. Apply with your category, website and the answers for your kind of business.
  2. Add evidence: a license number where one applies (for example a state outfitter license), a registration for non-profits. Guides and shops link the listing they have claimed.
  3. We review the account by hand. Nothing serves and nothing is charged before approval.
  4. Build a campaign: placements open to your category, targeting, budget or a monthly sponsorship, and your creative (image, text or a click-to-play YouTube video; alt text required).
  5. Each creative is reviewed against the ads policy, then serves where it fits.

Paid placement never changes organic ranking, verification, reviews or recommendations.
