Teach fishing. And what about selling fishing poles at an upscale place? Do you have fly shops?
Or what about finding a business partner with a boat? A lot of people have boats they don't use all that much. My neighbor was trying to sell his sailboat two years ago without much luck. Some college kids asked if they could pay him part of the cost and use it as a time share for the summer. It worked out well for everyone involved. I've had other friends make similar arrangements. With the cost of gas, a lot of people with motorboats are looking for a way to reduce expenses.

I actually have a couple students off & on but it's a tough go without that music degree to get in with a company, get enough students, and make it worthwhile.
Not much in fly fishing here in SF,CA, though I applied at a sporting goods outfit today for the fishing dept. As far as fishing party boats, here they go out in 40-50ft seaworthy craft for salmon & deepsea fishing, a large enterprise that I'm not in a position to take on.
The only teaching fishing job i found was at a summer camp that I would have to stay at for weeks/months at a time. I'm divorced & have a kid, don't want to lose my visits with her.
Good ideas though, most that I've already thought of or researched as U can see, but it is 'outside the box' thinking, like I'm trying to do. I even applied for a meter reader job today. Pay's decent.
