@DaveyDimes Precisely!! Thought it would be an interesting play on words also referencing The Chives old "Mind the Gap" slogan. Not 100% gap selling but that's how you turn a prospect to a client quickly by illuminating their gaps in line with how you can be the solution to that particular gap.

Fishing can be highly cathartic, fly especially. Although there’s a slight learning curve to get over. But if you’re gonna be sitting and reading, might as well throw a bobber out on the water. Few things taste better than fresh fried fish with a lake backdrop!

ah ok. for touristic reasons, sure. Although I think the US beats most of what we have to offer, except perhaps Vancouver (Whistler and its proximity to the ocean give us a slight edge, maybe). Other than this the US has much more diversity in the outdoors scene, from national parks in Utah to rainforest in Vancouver WA

Thanks man, you don't have to sell me on US destination. Haha. I spend every day that I can in its beauty. But it's all about diversity and experiencing new culture. 

Sidenote: Hunting ANYWHERE is always easier when you're local. Just try to buy an out of state tag anywhere in the US. Alaska won't let you unless you're a resident or have direct relation to one. Regulation is much more challenging for "outsiders".  It's only worse going into another country.
