Nestled in the picturesque setting of Manchester, Vermont, the American Museum of Fly Fishing (AMFF) stands as a monument to the rich heritage of this beloved pastime. Since its founding in 1968, the museum has meticulously documented the evolution of fly fishing as not only a sport but also an art form, craft, and industry.
Today, it proudly holds the world’s largest collection of angling-related artifacts, which serves as a testament to fly fishing’s enduring legacy. The museum is now excited to enter a new chapter, which will let more people than ever experience all that AMFF has to offer, no matter where they live.
Our Shared Legacy
More than a repository, the museum acts as a steward of the sport’s traditions and practices, advocating for the conservation of its waters while engaging, educating, and enriching all who cross its threshold through dynamic exhibitions, thought-provoking lectures, and a spirit of inclusivity that inspires anglers of all walks of life.
The New Member Experience
Above all else, the AMFF is a community. Thanks to the launch of a new online member portal and exclusive new member offerings, that community now has a home. The brand-new, members-only forum will feature programming hosted by an incredible roster of ambassadors on various topics, such as book clubs, film clubs, fly-tying challenges, DIY trip planning, interviews, AMAs, and much more.
The new programming will also include a line-up of conservation-themed seminars featuring industry professionals from partnering organizations, on-demand viewing options, and live question-and-answer sessions with the panelists. While more events will be announced throughout the year, upcoming topics include a Dam Removal 101 Series with American Rivers and other similar series with organizations like Captains for Clean Water, the Everglades Foundation, and Keep Fish Wet.
In addition to the members-only forum and exclusive access to the AMFF conservation classes, nearly every membership tier will be granted a shopping credit for the revamped online store. The shop features a full stock of new items and is teeming with exclusive gear fit for every angler. For a limited time, purchase AMFF’s limited-edition New Member Bundle and get a complimentary membership at the supporter level.
