The E.P.S.F.A. was formed by a small group of anglers in 2006 who saw a need to unify the boating anglers who fish the Pennsylvania waters of Lake Erie. This small group not only wanted to look out for the fishery, they wanted to engage in community and educational events. We also recognized the need to have a unified “voice” concerning our fishery.
For those anglers, businesses, sportsmen and women who are concerned about the fishery, stocking levels, pollution, environment, promotion of fishing and are community minded, we ask you to join us by being a member. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” (Helen Keller)
The purpose of the Erie PA Sport Fishing Association is to educate, enhance, and protect the sport fishing in Pennsylvania, especially in Lake Erie, Presque Isle Bay and its tributaries. To that end, we have established goals which we believe will define our organization’s activities by their significant diversity.
