Alabama NFC Attends Fly Fishing Film Tour

The Alabama chapter of Native Fish Coalition Alabama attended a showing of the the Fishing Film Tour sponsored by Deep South Outfitters and hosted by Cahaba Brewing Co. of Birmingham, Alabama, on April 23rd.

There were over 20 sponsors with 14 vendors on site, including NFC, a nature artist and fly fishing instructors.

Over 350 people attended the event with over 250 tickets sold for the film portion, making this the best attended tour stop in the south, even beating Atlanta, Georgia. Over $5,000 in raffle prizes were given out during the event.

Los Bomberos Cafe featured a Native Fish Coalition Alabama "Redeye Roast" coffee with 33% of sales benefiting NFC.

The event host, Cahaba Brewing Co., created a special beer for the event, the aptly named Redeye PA. T-shirts with the name, a logo, and nod to Alabama NFC were sold out early in the event. There were NFC logo beer koozies available as well.

The Alabama chapter of Native Fish Coalition raised money for wild native fish conservation initiatives selling NFC schwag, as well as a coffee raffle and a portion of an art raffle. Addition funds came from the sale of Redeye PA.

Special thanks to the sponsors and host, as well as AL NFC Chair Matthew Lewis, Vice Chair Jonathan Kelly, Secretary Steven Scoggins, and board members Jack West, Brandon Jackson, and Drew Morgan, along with Georgia NFC Chair Dylan Curry and Secretary Michael Plets.
