One of the major aims of the Committee is that no young angler should have to pay to represent their country. If you can help in any way please contact us.

Membership is open to all Juniors and others who support the EYFA. Help us support our junior anglers.

Youth International competitive fly fishing started in 1985 after Moc Morgan OBE, the well known and respected Welsh TV personality and angler, issued a challenge to Tom Bilson the senior's International President and one of the founders of the Confederation of English Fly Fishers to select a team of 10 youngsters to compete against a Welsh team on Llandegfedd reservoir. Russell Owen, the 1993 World Fly fishing Champion was a member of that Welsh team. Wales won the match but Henry Bannerman of England was top rod.

The EYFA was established in 1985 to provide competitive fly fishing for young people at International and, from 1998, World level. Managed by a committee of volunteers the Association is a member of the Confederation of English Flyfishers, a member of the Salmon & Trout Association, and an associate member of the Anglers Conservation Association.

Tom Bilson of Engalnd and Moc Morgan OBE of Wales were the joint founders of the Youth Flyfishing movement in 1985. Over the following years Scotland and Ireland selected Youth teans to participate in an annual International Match between the four countries.
