The Federation of Flyfishers announced today the publication of its Code of Angling Ethics.

The FFF Code expresses the belief that ethical behavior is a key component of the angling experience, and that anglers must behave ethically towards each other, non-anglers, and the environment.

The Federation of Flyfishers announced today the publication of its Code of Angling Ethics. FFF is an international organization whose mission is to lead activities that enhance and support the fly fishing experience for all anglers who fish with the artificial fly.

FFF Treasurer Gary Grant, who spearheaded the effort to develop the Code of Angling Ethics, said that FFF decided to examine this issue about two years ago. Articles and discussions about ethical behavior by anglers have surfaced from time to time, and it was time to see if a common set of guidelines with unifying themes could be developed."

The FFF Code expresses the belief that ethical behavior is a key component of the angling experience, and that anglers must behave ethically towards each other, non-anglers, and the environment. Grant concluded: Ethical angling behavior is not a destination for one to boost about reaching. Rather, it is a continuous journey that will improve the overall angling experience."
