"Educating through fly-fishing" is one part of the motto of the Federation of Fly Fishers, and of its affiliated chapter, the Arkansas Fly Fishers. Since its founding, AFF members have strived to share their knowledge of fly-fishing with both their fellow members and the general public. Today, the AFF offers numerous fly-tying venues, fly casting instruction by FFF Certified Instructors, periodic classes in rod building, and sponsors classes for the Boy Scouts of America's Fly Fishing merit badge.
