Whitney Tilt the Executive Director of the AFFTA Fisheries Fund stops by to talk about what the organization is up to. Hogan and Whitney take a look at this year's Grants that have been given out, why conservation at a national level to a local level is important, and why it is important we all get involved on some level in protecting our fisheries and wild places. The AFFTA Fisheries Fund ([https://afftafisheriesfund.org/](https://afftafisheriesfund.org/)) was established in 2014 as a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit to advance the stewardship and conservation mission of the American Fly Fishing Trade Association. The Fisheries Fund serves as an arm of AFFTA laser-focused on conservation and stewardship, as we seek to leverage the full weight of the flyfishing industry in the fight to protect and restore our fisheries, amplify the industry’s conservation voice, and provide powerful business support for critical conservation issues.
