Our Communications Director (and @flyfishmuseum ambassador), Matt Smythe, attended the American Museum of Fly Fishing’s annual summer festival and celebration of their 50th anniversary. There’s an immense and beautifully curated collection of fly fishing history here, including a fantastic new exhibition dedicated to the history of fly fishing the salt. Put it on your to-visit list if you haven’t been. • Congratulations to museum staff, volunteers, and the Board for a great event and being such ardent stewards of the history of our sport. • #flyfishing #ourhistory #growthesport #affta #amff
