“It’s hard to believe we’re 50 years old” said Philip Greenlee President/ CEO. “The International Federation of Fly Fishers was founded in 1965 in Eugene Oregon with our return to Oregon we come back to our roots” Today the IFFF has grown to 17 councils, approximately 225 clubs and thousands of individual members. Our goal is to support fisheries conservation and educational programs for all fish in all waters. Anywhere fly fishers have an interest; the IFFF can and does play a role.
