Antietam Fly Anglers (AFA) was organized in 1975 in Hagerstown, Maryland and is a Charter Club of Fly Fishers International (FFI). You must be a member of FFI to be an active member of Antietam Fly Anglers.

Kula Cloth
If you have a female in your life who likes the outdoors, do the environment a favor by leaving no trash behind—and get her a Kula Cloth! This Kula cloth was created in collaboration with the Antietam Fly Anglers and a portion of the sales will benefit our club.
