Founded in 1999, the Bates Fishing Club offers students of Bates College the opportunity and necessary resources to experience a variety of different forms of angling in Maine. We provide equipment and the expertise to ensure a positive angling experience. Whether you've been fishing since you were five, or have never cast a line, the BFC is here to eagerly assist you in your angling expeditions.
"The Bates Fishing Club was founded on the fundamental belief that Maine's waterways are precious treasures. It is the mission of the Bates Fishing Club to preach conservation, education and to share the experience of angling Maine's waters to all who seek the freedom of the water." - Lane, Robbins, Wilkie, 2006
