The idea to create a national federation of fly fishing clubs by people who also were willing to take action, seems to have sprung up on both coasts in the early 1960's. In June 1965, the first Conclave of the Federation of Fly Fishers took place in Eugene Oregon and was hosted by the McKenzie Flyfishers. It was immediately a national organization with the inclusion not only of West Coast fly fishing clubs, but also the Theodore Gordon Flyfishers from New York. Twelve clubs had joined the Federation by the end of 1965, and by the second Conclave held at Jackson Hole Wyoming in September 1966, the number of clubs had risen to 29.
Today the FFF has grown to over 300 clubs, and the organization is moving more and more toward being an organization comprised of individual members. Our goal is to support fisheries conservation and educational programs for all fish and all waters. Anywhere fly fishers have an interest, the FFF can and does play a role.
 Trout Unlimited's mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.TU accomplishes this mission on local, state and national levels with an extensive and dedicated volunteer network. TU’s national office, based just outside of Washington, D.C., and its regional offices employ professionals who testify before Congress, publish a quarterly magazine, intervene in federal legal proceedings, and work with the organization’s 152,000 volunteers in 450 chapters nationwide to keep them active and involved in conservation issues.
 Bonefish & Tarpon Unlimited (BTU). Our name pretty much underscores the goals we’re aiming to accomplish – ensuring healthy populations of bonefish and tarpon for the future. BTU is a 501.C.3, not-for-profit organization based in South Florida, but with a worldwide presence. It is BTU’s belief that by bringing together recreational anglers, guides, lodges, the marine industry, and other business interests, we can raise the funds and other support needed to conduct this essential research. BTU’s ability to bring together fishing experts, media personalities, business leaders, and marine scientists gives us the respect that is needed to lead the international effort toward research, conservation, and enhancement of bonefish and tarpon.
 Founded in November 1996 through a unique public-private partnership, Roaring Fork Conservancy has become one of the most respected watershed conservation organizations in Colorado. Roaring Fork Conservancy's offices have been located in Basalt, the geographic center of the watershed, from the time of its inception. We are currently funded through individual donations, grants, special events, and program fees. In 2000, Roaring Fork Conservancy formed the Rivers Council to help raise funds for the organization's four program areas: watershed education, land conservation, water resources research, and water quality monitoring.
 The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP) unites the nation’s leading hunting, fishing and conservation organizations on select issues and creating a national electronic grassroots network of millions of individual sportsmen and women. Working together, we can ensure that America’s lands will always have clean water, healthy habitat, bountiful fish and wildlife populations and ample opportunities for all Americans to fish, hunt and enjoy the outdoors.
