Biography & Thoughts

We are a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to preserving America’s flyfishing heritage, teaching its future generations of flyfishers, and protecting its flyfishing environment. We carry out this mission by operating a museum, an education center and, in the near future, an environmental research center. We seek to increase public awareness of the values of fly fishing, prime among which is respect for the natural environment. We provide a meeting place for anglers to share their ideas and experiences, improve their skills, and enhance their enjoyment of the sport of fly fishing.
