Our home waters offer us a place of comfort and familiarity. They are the local places we go to fish and unwind from life's hectic pace. They are also places we feel attached to and protective of. In the FFF's ongoing commitment to preserve our angling heritage and protect fish habitat, the FFF is launching the Adopt-A-Stream program. In accordance with the 2003 FFF Clean Water Resolution, the Adopt-A-Stream program provides a way for FFF clubs to watch over their local waters. By adopting a local stretch of water, clubs can foster a sense of ownership amongst their members by holding regular stream clean-ups, conducting water quality monitoring or bio-monitoring. With the sense of ownership created through these activities comes a sense of pride and stewardship over our home waters.
In recognition of these efforts, the FFF will fund a portion of the cost ($100) of an approved professional sign to be erected at the adoption site naming the adopting club and stating, "We respect these waters". Club efforts must be sustained and ongoing to maintain a presence at their adopted site. Sites can be adopted for a number of activities including clean-ups, water quality monitoring, bio-monitoring, weed pulls and restoration efforts. Together we can make a difference.
