  • 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.

Physiological values derived from portable diagnostic tools were significantly related to values obtained from standard laboratory techniques [glucose (r2 ¼ 0Á96), packed cell volume (PCV; r2 ¼ 0Á33), Naþ (r2 ¼ 0Á28), Kþ (r2 ¼ 0Á71) and ClÀ (r2 ¼ 0Á15)].
