Everyone is very welcome to become a member of the European Fly Fishing Association!

There are different categories of membership in the European Fly Fishing Association:

 Become an EFFA Sponsor

Single Member

Everyone can become a single member. Have a look at the bylaws and simply apply for EFFA single membership here

Instructor/Guide (for instructors & guides only)

For becoming an EFFA fly casting instructor or guide it is necessary to pass the EFFA Flycasting Instructor or EFFA Guide Exam. If you haven't been a single member before attending the exam you need to become an EFFA member after the test to get the rights to use the EFFA trademarks. If you are interested in taking part in an exam, please have a look at the demands and the next dates.

Council membership

Instructors, guides or single members can found an EFFA council in their country. This national EFFA council has to be organised as an official club and the aims of the organisation have to correspond with those in the EFFA bylaws . EFFA supports such foundations and offers special benefits for EFFA councils. The membership dues for members in these council are up to the councils themselves but instead of the whole amount of € 25 for instructors/guides and € 15 for single members the EFFA councils only have to send € 10 for the single member and € 15 for the instructor/guide to EFFA . apply here

Affiliated members

If a club or an organisation wants to support EFFA 's interests and ideas it can become an affiliated member. In this case the club has to apply for membership and send a profile of the club as well as their bylaws to the EFFA office. If the aims of your organisation correspond with those of EFFA you can apply for an affiliation membership. However, EFFA reserves the right to refuse an application without specifying the reasons.
