Clubs can join FFF too!
If you belong to a local fly fishing club that has
been in existence for more than a year and the club wants
to become an FFF Affiliated Member Club, annual dues are
$100.00 (base price) plus $2.00 per NON-FFF Member.
With maximum dues for the year of $500.00.
Affiliated clubs also become members of MAC but are
independent clubs.If you would like to start an FFF Charter Club in your area all members must be members of FFF but there are no other dues for the club. A Charter club operates under the supervision of FFF and its Councils. They are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and will need to submit a financial statement to FFF.

• Receive quarterly issues of FFF's Fly Fisher Magzine and the Mid-Atlantic Fly Fisher, the Council's newsletter.
• Use MAC's fly tying kits and rod and reel outfits at club sponsored events.
• Fund your club's conservation and stream improvement projects with grants from FFF and MAC.
