It's not just skiers, Mikey Wier and John and Eric Jackson are professional snowboarders who are as passionate about their angling as they are their with snow driven pursuits.
Teton Gravity Research, which was founded by 4 friends with money they earned from commercial fishing in Alaska, and produce progressive, cutting edge films, has a very active fishing forum.
I'll say it one more time, the fly fishing trade should be actively developing strategies to partner with the broader outdoor community. Patagonia Alpine Climbing Ambassador Kelly Cordes sums it up brilliantly in this review of Eastern Rises.
