About the National Professional Anglers Association The National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) is a 501(c) (6) non-profit organization whose mission is: "To grow the sport of fishing and increase the professionalism of its members".

The association was founded in 1997 and has grown to today's level by working to develop programs to benefit its members and the sport. One such program includes the financial support and organizational support for the "Future Angler Events" that are run by its members each year.

Our members target all species of fish and have varying levels of experience and expertise varying from those who just took up the sport and want to take it to a higher level, to those who have made a career of pursuing their passion on the water.

The ability for our members to network with other member is a critical component to the growth of our association. The NPAA provides a forum for interaction between professional anglers of all experience levels at our Conference each year and throughout the year by posting our members contact information and through the association's Facebook page.
