Membership applications are accepted at every activity the NRAA is
involved in. Membership fees provide the majority of funding for all our groups
activities, combined with other fund raising efforts. All of the organization’s
activities succeed because of the great response from volunteers within the membership.
Each event is staffed by NRAA members who unselfishly volunteer their time. Some
of the activities the NRAA conducts throughout the year are;
1) Salmon and Steelhead Pen Rearing
2) Lower Niagara River Walleye Restoration
3) Youth Fishing Derbies
4) Fish Stocking and Hatchery
Assistance
5) Publishing of Group Newsletter
6) Website
7) Attend Seminars and Other Groups
Meetings
8) NYS DEC Youth Camp
9) Wilderness Preserve
10) Various Events and Fund Raisers
The NRAA has open meetings six times
a year. The officers and trustees contribute to each meeting. The meetings are
open to the public and to all who wish to learn more about the regional sport
fishery and group efforts to enhance it. The format for the meeting consists of
a discussion of the past, present and future club business and activities,
followed by a report in some cases from local and regional state Biologists,
DEC representatives, federal agencies and organizations or sport fishery
exports.
The
NRAA has many accomplishments and is proud of the progress made when it comes
to community involvement and education concerning outdoors and sport fishing
related activities. Memberships are what makes this
organization strong and yours is valued.
As with any successful organization, it
takes a membership and the NRAA has continued to maintain a strong, active,
talented and dedicated membership. For over 25 years now we continue to enjoy a
stable, growing number of members. If you’re not already a member, we invite you

year. And don’t forget, you will also receive five (5) issues of our
publication titled “News & Views” and the opportunity to buy a key to our
