Description
The Fly Fishers Club of Orange County Marine Studies Scholarship Fund was founded in 1966 to further the sport of Fly Fishing. In addition to being a way to meet others who enjoy the sport, there were three goals in mind when the club was founded: Educating the public, conserving the fisheries, and contributing resources to make fly fishing enjoyable and available to all who are interested. The club has been working hard to meet its goals by sponsoring clinics and workshops, hosting noteworthy speakers, participating in conservation projects, and contributing its resources to various conservation organizations such as the Federation of Fly Fishers and (FFF), Trout Unlimited (TU), Cal Trout, and the Nature Conservancy. In addition, the club contributes to numerous other conservation activities directly beneficial to fly fishing. The club has made an annual scholarship available to a CSU student who is studying marine sciences.
