About Us
We are the Thumb Chapter of the MSSFA. We meet at the Ubly Fox Hunter's Club. Here is a map showing directions to the location. We meet the 3rd Thursday of the month between March and October. Many of our member head for warmer climates in the winter months but we are all excited about the early Spring bite.
MSSFA was organized in 1967 by a handful of individuals who knew that Michigan's newly formed trout & salmon fishery was something worth working to protect. They were a small group who wanted not only to protect their fishery, but learn how to catch their elusive prey and tell fishing stories. MSSFA Chapters have membership meetings with guest speakers to learn all the aspects of sport fishing. MSSFA Chapters also sponsor fishing clinics, seminars, sport-fishing shows, derbies and tournaments. With a common goal, and a close working partner with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). MSSFA helps to enhance the resource and sport fishing in our rivers, streams, inland lakes and of course the Great Lakes.
