The American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA) announced today that it has hired Gary Berlin as the trade association’s president. A former human resources manager and Area/District Wildlife Manager for the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the recent head of the International Hunter Education Association, Berlin brings nearly thirty years of experience in the outdoor arena as well as proven non-profit association leadership skills. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Management from Mesa College in Grand Junction, CO and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Colorado in Denver. Berlin, a lifelong Colorado resident, will begin his tenure on July 1 and will be establishing a new permanent home for AFFTA in the greater Denver area.

Good place for a fly fishing trade association [Denver] if I do say so myself. Does this mean manufacturers will soon be selling cheap fly rods by Colorado’s gold medal waters?
