The fly fishing community has been fighting for over a decade to keep Pebble Mine from devastating Bristol Bay and the fisheries that sustain 14,000 jobs, a $1.5 billion dollar annual economic engine, native communities and a world-class destination to fly fish.
On August 24th, the fly fishing community is coming together as one undeniable force in support of Bristol Bay.
Fly shops, manufacturers, guides, outfitters, lodges and more industry professionals nationwide have banded together for A Day for Bristol Bay to raise much-needed funding for the Bristol Bay Defense Fund – the front-line group that is going toe-to-toe in D.C. with the foreign mining interests behind the mine.
Whether you’re a fly angler or just love the outdoors, we need you to shop, fish and show up for Bristol Bay on August 24th!
If you are a member of AFFTA or own a business related to the industry, register and donate today and join our participating businesses list.
It’s crucial we get as much participation as possible. On August 24th let’s make A Day for Bristol Bay the biggest statement against Pebble Mine from the fly fishing community yet.
Thank you all for your continued support!
