Who we are...
"The Niagara River Anglers Association is
dedicated to a clean environment, education, and the preservation of
wildlife."
The
NRAA is a fishing club based in Niagara County and formed in 1982. We
are a nonprofit, volunteer-based organization and all funds raised from
our various projects go back into conservation and the education of
others. The NRAA advocates catch-and-release only policies.
The organization's purpose is to educate the
public, both youth and adult on a variety of issues related to resource
conservation and enhancement, along with the preservation of fish and
wildlife. Together they represent the most important goal the
organization can aspire and achieve. They were part of the original
founding principals and are integral still today. They are represented
in all of the organization's activities.
The organization was formed by a small
group of fishermen that believed that the water of the Niagara River
was in need of some drastic attention. Cleaner waters, improved water
access, targeted fish stocking programs, youth and adult education, and
a better understanding of the surrounding environment, was all
necessary to improve the declining conditions of the fishery.
Conditions improved and the group also began to focus it's concern on
the waters of Lake Ontario and it's many tributaries. Today the group
is made up of hundreds of members. Members are concerned about the
present and future of sport fishing and it's economic benefits in the
Great Lakes, adjoining waters and in protecting and enhancing the
regional sport fishery and it's wetlands, habitant and environment.
