There are some eleven fishing clubs/organizations associated with the NDSFC. From the web-page -- and it pretty much describes what they do: The North Dakota Sportfishing Congress (NDSFC) is the umbrella organization for all the fishing clubs of North Dakota. It is designed to be a watchdog and work with the Game and Fish Department, North Dakota Legislature and the Congress of the United States. The NDSFC is made up of an Executive Board consisting of a President, Past President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and five Directors-at-Large. Each member club is allotted two voting delegate at each meeting. The NDSFC also employs a lobbyist during the State Legislative sessions. The NDSFC meets at least twice a year with the main annual meeting and election of officers in the spring. Executive Board meetings are held as needed.
Join up and come to a meeting, or join a local fishing club and voice your concerns on fishing in this great State of North Dakota. See you at the Banquet and thanks for your support!
