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

1) Salmon and
Steelhead Pen Rearing
2) Lower Niagara
River Walleye

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
to join us. Why not bring along your friends and become a part of one
of the
greatest local associations that works hard on behalf of the
environment, sport
fishing enthusiast, communities and our youth. All this, along with the
pride
of being a part of today’s history as it is being made, and still only
$15.00 a
year. And don’t forget, you will also receive five (5) issues of our
publication titled “News & Views” and the opportunity to buy a
