Is fly fishing important to you?
Would you like to enjoy fly fishing even more?

• Are you interested in sharpening your casting and tying skills?
• Do you believe that helping kids learn about fly fishing is important?
• Are you concerned about declining fisheries resources?
• If you said yes to any of these questions, become part of the only organization in the world focused exclusively on fly fishing.

Still not convinced? Here is why FFF is important to you and all fly fishers:

• Conservation: FFF's pioneering promotion of catch and release resulted in better fishing for many species of fish in waters worldwide, including trout, bass, snook, redfish even bluegill! Lee Wulff, an FFF founding member, was the father of catch and release!
• Education: FFF has the only program for teaching our kids how to cast, to tie flies and how to appreciate aquatic ecosystems. Some FFF clubs teach more than 2,000 kids a year!
• Skill building: FFF shows and conclaves provide more experts, more demonstrations, more fly tyers and more workshops than any other events in fly fishing. At the upcoming show in Whitefish, Montana, over 100 workshops and lectures will be offered!
• Local focus: FFF focuses its energy at the grass roots level, at the local club and the regional council, where real conservation and education happens. Our national office in Montana is lean and mean - this means more money for education and conservation.
• Ecosystem based: FFF believes that learning to imitate the forms and behaviors of insects and other aquatic organisms leads to a better appreciation of water resources (and their survival)... fly fishing turns ordinary anglers in to conservationists!

And there are even more concrete benefits for FFF members:

• FFF's magazine 4 times a year
• Reduced member-only rates on workshops, shows and other FFF sponsored events.
• Dozens of FFF educational and how-to books and booklets.
• Opportunity to contribute to conservation programs for all fish in all waters.
• Active, focused programs for teaching our children and grandchildren
