Florida Keys Fishing Guides Association – Pioneers in Conservation

A pioneer in conservation since 1956, the Florida Keys Guides Association (FKFGA) is a non-profit organization comprised of professional fishing guides committed to preserve and protect the fisheries and other natural resources of the Florida Keys and Everglades.

The FKFGA is also one of the main fundraising organizations for the Guides Trust Foundation (GTF). The GTF mission is to assist guides or persons related to the local fishing industry in times of need. Our biggest fundraiser is the annual Swamp Guides Ball.
