Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association

The Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association was founded in 1993 by a collection of sport fishing industry business leaders who understood the need for a strong voice in the local, state, regional and federal governments. NSIA is not a sports club but an industry lobby group, with lobbyist in both Washington and Oregon, representing the business interests of the many members that depend on the sport of fishing for their livelihoods.

“I’ve been a member of NSIA since it first formed and want you to know how proud I am of our many accomplishments. NSIA has lead the way in every major fishing issue in the Northwest; and we have done it by partnering closely with other groups, listening to member needs and working the political process in an organized and disciplined way. Help us continue to deliver by joining.” Buzz Ramsey

“Kershaw Knives joined NSIA for the health of the industry, but in my heart I do it to insure that there are salmon and steelhead for future generations to fish for.” Steve Grutbo Regional Sales Manager Kai-USA Ltd. Kershaw Knives, Shun Cutlery, Zero Tolerance Knives
