It L is against this global backdrop of economic uncertainty that Bonefish & Tarpon Trust finds itself uniquely blessed with a board, membership and stakeholders who continue to be deeply committed to the resource. The traditional three legged stool of non-profit giving includes time, talent & treasure. ESPN’s stunning new television series Pirates of the Flats is a remarkable example of how the generous convergence of these founding charitable attributes can lead to extraordinary results. Pirates of the Flats is a child of the collaborative ingenuity and shared com- mitment of BTT board members: Chris Dorsey of Orion Multimedia, the show’s outstanding production company; Bill Klyn, of Patagonia, Bill is the Tom Davidson Matt Connolly show’s executive producer; Mike Cassidy, of BASS/ESPN the show’s network; Chairman President & Chris Peterson, of Hells Bay Boatworks as its founding sponsor. They joined together to transform a dream into a reality. Their good work was lifted by the efforts of BTT Director of Operations Aaron Adams, news anchor Tom Brokaw, author Tom McGuane, actor Michael Keaton, Patagonia founder Yvon Chounaird, angling legend Lefty Kreh, and outdoor photographer Val Atkinson—all joining Bill Klyn as pirates, anglers, conservationists and comedians! The innovative quality of the show attracted top level sponsors such as Chevy, takemefishing.org, and Costa del Mar in addition to Hells Bay Boatworks, headed by Chris Peterson. However, Peterson didn’t stop at sponsorship. To capitalize on the marketing opportunity presented by the Pirates series, he and Mike Cassidy have crafted a unique fund raising program for BTT through Chris’ amazing gift of a cutting edge Hells Bay flats boat and trailer along with some outstanding items from ESPN/Disney. Please moni- tor www.tarbone.org closely to learn more about this exciting sweepstakes program. While these truly epic examples of giving to BTT will further enable us to successfully carry out research, educa- tion and conservation advocacy programs, please keep in mind that your individual support through membership contributions and annual donations are critically important to BTT, as they remain the very heart and soul of our conservation initiatives. If you haven’t made your membership contribution this year, please do so as soon as you can; and if you have, thank you ever so much! Companies are stepping up in other ways as well. For membership incentives, Patagonia is generously providing significant discounts on product purchases for a full year for some membership levels. And in addition to provid- ing cash donations, Orvis is including BTT membership materials with all saltwater rods.

The quantities caught, the effort spent in the catching, and the geographic distribution of catches are necessary for diagnosing the condition of any fish population. Representing as they do the experience of thousands of people, these statistics provide the best yardstick yet devised for currently measuring abundance, for indicating trouble spots, and for evaluating the effects of remedial measures. Furthermore they can be enor­ mously useful in geographic studies of species, particularly when supplemented by surveys of research vessels. However, catch statistics are worthy only to the extent that they are reasonably complete and continuous in space and time.

  • AFFTA Policy Statement on Federal Fisheries Policy and Management

    AFFTA Policy Statement on Federal Fisheries Policy and Management

    AFFTA Policy Statement on Federal Fisheries Policy and Management The American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA) is the nation’s largest fly fishing trade association and is dedicated to the sustained growth of the fly fishing industry. AFFTA’s more than 900 members, including fly fishing retail stores, manufacturers, outfitters, guides, and lodges, are a part of the nearly $900 million contributed annually to the U.S. economy by the fly fishing industry. Ours is a growing market. Between 2015 and 2016, net sales revenue of fly fishing products increased by 8.5%. In 2016, more than 4.5 million Americans went fly fishing at least once, and the number of anglers who fly fish is estimated at ten million.1 AFFTA recognizes that abundant fish populations supported by healthy marine, coastal, and freshwater habitats are the foundation for a thriving recreational fly fishing industry. AFFTA pursues and supports policies that conserve and protect fisheries, fish habitat, and wild spaces. This ensures high-quality and plentiful recreational opportunities that create economic activity for our members and safeguards the industry’s future. Saltwater fly fishing is the fastest growing segment of our industry. To encourage continued growth and investment in saltwater fly fishing by our members, AFFTA supports state and federal ocean fisheries management that conserves and restores intact and thriving coastal and marine ecosystems, achieves responsible access to our marine fisheries, and is based upon the best available science. Overview and Status of Federal Fisheries Policy and Management U.S. ocean fisheries are managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA).

    A Comparison of Distance Fly Casting Performance Between Three 5- Weight Long-Belly Floating Lines

    Send Orders of Reprints at [email protected] 118 The Open Sports Science Journal, 2012, 5, 118-122 Open Access A Comparison of Distance Fly Casting Performance Between Three 5- Weight Long-belly Floating Lines Ulrik Röijezon1,* and Stefan Siikavaara2 1Department of Health Sciences, Luleå University of Technology, 97187 Luleå, Sweden 2Dala Sports Academy, University of Dalarna, 791 88 Falun, Sweden Abstract: Long-belly fly lines have gained extensive popularity around the world, both for fishing and for competitive distance casting. In Sweden, three long-belly fly lines are used as official lines in Fly Casting competitions: The Mastery Expert Distance (Scientific Anglers, USA), the Rio Gold Tournament (Rio, USA) and the Barrio GT140 (Barrio Fly Lines, Scotland). The objective of this study was to compare distance casting performance between the three long-belly fly lines using a standardized test protocol. Sixteen elite casters, eight competitors in Fly Casting and eight competitors in Casting, each performed eight casts with all three lines. All lines were cast in a randomized manner with the same type of rod (MSX Sapphire 790-4) fitted with the same type of reel and identical leaders. The test was performed as an indoor competition using the overhead cast technique. The statistical analyses revealed no significant differences between the lines. This result was consistent both for the whole group (p>0.05) and when the results from the subgroups of competitors in Fly Casting and Casting were analyzed separately (p>0.05). The conclusion of the study is that at group level there are no significant differences in distance casting performance between the three lines when casting is performed indoors.
