The Orkney Trout Fishing Association is a non-profit making voluntary body dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of game fishing throughout the Orkney Islands. At a time when natural habitats are under continual threat and pressure, the continuation of the OTFA's work is of paramount importance to both local and visiting anglers to ensure that the rich heritage of Orkney trout fishing has a future as bright as its past.
