Organizing is a good step in efforts to preserve what the Bahamas has to offer. I’m hoping the BFF will be a loud voice advocating to preserve bonefish habitat throughout the Islands.
Several bonefish guides from the islands of Abaco, Andros, Eleuthera, Grand Bahama and New Providence have initiated a proposal to start a Bahamian Flyfishing Federation (BFF) that will support the flyfishing industry by forming a national partnership with all industry stakeholders to promote the conservation of bonefish, tarpon, and permit populations as well as the habitats on which they depend. The vision of the BFF is a Bahamas that is the best fly-fishing destination in the world for current and future generations to enjoy.

Great idea BUT if they start talking about banning DYI I would be really PO’d.
Totally, but I can’t see them actually doing that. I’d think there would be a whole lot of people opposed to such a move, including everyone from hotel owners to rental car businesses to restaurants… a DIYer can’t really spend nothing. Every dollar counts, especially these days when travel to the Bahamas is so far down.
