Memorial Award For Conservation
Each year, the Northwest Fly Anglers Club makes a donation (typically $500) to a conservation organization whose work is consistent with the Constitution and Bylaws of the NFA. We look for work that preserves, enhances, and generally supports game fish waters, as well as fly fishing and catch-and-release fishing rules. The selection process for the Award begins in April with the first nomination and an announcement in the May issue of the Fly Paper. Usually, four organizations are nominated, and members in attendance at the general membership meeting in October make the final selection. The Award is sometimes presented in person at the annual holiday party and auction event.
