Steve Schweitzer has an online survey to gather data on flyfishing for his MBA. He’s working with Elkhorn Fly Rods, and they’ve sweetened the deal with prizes.
If you don’t know Steve, he’s a founder of Global Fly Fisher website, former marketing head for Whiting Farms and a good guy. I’m pretty sure he’ll make good use of the data.
It took me less than 10 minutes to complete the online survey.

As part of a final MBA project, I am to develop a business plan. I offered to do a business plan for Elkhorn Fly Rods. It’s in an industry I am familiar with and of course, I am passionate about the sport; that was key to keeping me “in the game” on this project!
To do the business plan correctly, I need primary research; hence a survey. The owner has agreed to give away some pretty neat prizes, (see list below). Other than the MBA requirement, I have no affiliation with Elkhorn (not being paid, not an employee, etc).
I am trying to scare up as many responses as possible to make the data statistically relevant. Your help is highly appreciated. After it is all said and done, I’ll be more than happy to share the results…some may find it interesting. And, if you know of others outside of this forum that would be interested in taking the survey, please forward the URL.
The survey has 4 parts, 34 Questions. It should take about 10 minutes max to complete the survey; I did it in about 7 minutes.
1. Background info (10 questions)
2. Experience Level (7 questions)
3. Product Ownership (3 questions)
4. Product Perception (14 questions)
