All about the New York TBF :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Federation," or “TBF” as we are commonly known, is the oldest broad-based, independent, grassroots organization in bass fishing, and truly is the backbone of the entire sport. The success of the Federation in improving and furthering the sport of fishing has been monumental and continues to be felt worldwide.
While our members' accomplishments are far too numerous to list, many of them boil down to two key areas: youth and conservation.
Youth
In the youth area, we have focused our efforts on the sport's number one priority: get kids fishing. That includes just getting a fishing rod in their hands, as well as getting families outdoors.
These efforts are key when it comes to facilitating the recruitment of young anglers and introducing them to the values and ethics of fishing and the outdoors.
Conservation
It is a widely known fact among sportsmen and women that outdoors enthusiasts have done far more to protect and enhance (to conserve) natural habitats ("the environment") than environmental groups. Among that elite crowd, no group of people has done more than TBF Federation members.
Our efforts in conservation have included everything from habitat projects, to fighting polluters, to working with fish and game departments, to weighing-in on local, state and federal legislation and much more. These efforts and accomplishments are unmatched in fishing.
The Future and Fun
The ongoing and future health of the sport of fishing, and the clean family values associated with it, are our only goals, along with providing fun and fraternal experiences for our members.
