Why Free

For all those who ask this question, the answer, fortunately, is a very simple one.

The short of it is,

“ We're not in it to make money; our fishing is too valuable to put a price on it! ”

For the skeptics among you, let us elaborate a bit further

a) The PGFA was envisioned as an association of like minded individuals who pursue fishing as a hobby, a sport if you may, and mixing work with pleasure will only taint the objectives of the association.
b) Unfortunately, no amount of money can induce ethical practices into a society, nor can money correct the mistakes made by sports-fishermen in the past.
c) The associations aim is simple, educate through example. No money is needed to set an example.
d) Our membership has only one restriction, a member MUST subscribe to the views, aims and objectives of the Association. Monetary wealth is of no value to us, just your ethical standards.
