FishyNW includes veteran owned businesses when their products or services are relevant to anglers and outdoor users in the Northwest. Tackle shops and fishing guides can still appear in the normal local listings beside their competitors. This page simply gives veteran owned businesses an additional dedicated place to be discovered.
Non veteran owned businesses are not included here unless FishyNW deliberately identifies an exceptional regional resource and clearly separates it from the veteran owned listings.
