This has been a collaboration project that Cameron and Myself have put together for the kids. It is a coloring contest with many prizes for all the kids involved – a future contest will involve the parents as well. The coloring book has images From Paul Puckett, Bob White, Yuhina, AD Maddox, Derek DeYoung, Jeff Kennedy, Kirk Werner and me.

This site is also buit to grow with an educational component so we can teach our children good conservation practices.

We are extremely excited about this site would welcome everyone to come out and join in the fun. Without the IA site, Cameron and Myself would have never met. Thanks Zach.

OH… And there is also a place for all the proud “Fishy Kid” parents to place photos of their kids. (which will probably one of the future contest)

[Corey Kruitbosch]

Nice job guys!

[kevin powell]

Corey, we are hoping to see some of your kid photos on the site. They are an inspiration.

I am very excited to see the fishy kid site getting some looks today.  Kevin Powell did a masterful job with the website.

Early this year Kevin Powell and I started a dialogue back and forth, added some stellar artists into the mix, and the fishy kid website has gotten a great kick off.

Cool. We have a bunch of cool stuff to give to the kids. From Rods to trinkets… DVDs… All sorts of swag.

[Mark Schafer]

Great idea guys and nicely done. Let me know how I can help out in the swag area

Great website!

[kevin powell]

Thanks everyone. This site has been fun to build. Now trying to find some good partners for education to continue the idea.

Josh, we cannot wait to see his work posted on the site. I am all about outside the lines.

[Josh England]

;D Yea, he hasn’t gotten the “inside the lines” concept down yet, but he’s having fun and that’s all that matters.

[kevin powell]

cant wait to see his work.

We have a couple more things lined up for the future, The education part is starting to come together which will really round out the site. This has been a truly fun project and cannot wait to see what direction it takes us.

[kevin powell]

Good stuff happening. Thanks everyone.

Well…Fishy Kid has been up for a week and is growing right along. Over 1200 clicks on the website, nearly 100 registered members, 188 facebook fans, and 137 followers on Twitter! Coloring book pages are getting uploaded into the galleries on the website. Check it all out. We’re growing a Fishy Kid Community there!

We are still adding sponsors and educational/conservation partners to the site. Yesterday I received an email from Ron Snow of Rock Creek Boatworks that he (Joel Thompson and Mike Anderson might be part of this donation too at some point) and the maker of NuCanoe are donating a 10′ NuCanoe for an upcoming contest for 2010. I was astounded and excited with this unbelievable donation.

[Cameron Mortenson]

This site and the people that frequent here are amazing.  I spoke to Mark Schafer yesterday on the phone and his store, The Steelhead Shop, is donating a fly rod, two reels, and a tying kit to the project.  Thank you, Sir!
