FEBRUARY 2021
Fly
Fishers International and Trout Unlimited have entered into a formal
conservation partnership, consummating the collective conservation focus
of each organization to greater substantive effect.
The agreement formally recognizes and acknowledges the shared conservation commitments of FFI and TU on
behalf of the organizations’ members and the fly fishing community. It
also establishes communication between the groups as they
collaborate on mutual conservation goals.

The
partnership has been approved by FFI’s chairman of the board and
president and CEO upon recommendation by the board’s Conservation
Committee.
Patrick Berry, President and CEO of Fly Fishers International commented:
“FFI is dedicated to partnering with leading conservation organizations
such as Trout Unlimited to ensure protection of our fisheries and their
associated habitats for the benefit and enjoyment of the broader
fly-fishing community. When we work together to achieve our collective
missions, we are able to realize more success than working
individually.”
Trout
Unlimited President and CEO Chris Wood said the partnership makes good
sense for both TU and FFI. “Fly Fishers International is driven by the
three fundamental pillars of conservation, education and community,”
Wood said. “That philosophy perfectly aligns with Trout Unlimited’s
vision. Because we share mutual conservation goals, we are natural
allies.”
FFI
conservation programs are focused on conserving All Fish, All Waters.
The organization also preserves the legacy of fly fishing by focusing on
the importance of a thriving community of individuals who value the
camaraderie of angling and appreciates that learning never stops.
