The story of Kingfisher Sport Fishing Association

Formed in 1995 by current President, Stephen Johnston, Kingfisher Sport Fishing Association (KSFA) has the aim of promoting fishing with a conscience in the Maltese people.

Since its inception, the Association has strived to educate its members to practice fish conservation. All fish caught during KSFA events are in fact handled with great care after capture and are then released back into their habitat at the end of the event. Kingfisher Sport Fishing Association was the first to introduce the conservation concept amongst sport fishing clubs in Malta and continues to strive on encouraging other Maltese clubs and associations to follow these steps.

The Association also serves as a forum were members can exchange views and tips about the various angling techniques practiced in the Maltese Islands. The Association's members number around 80.

Kingfisher organises two main leagues every year. These are the Singles League - a competition where competitors fish independently for six  matches, and the Doubles League also comprising of six matches for teams made up of two members each.

A number of specialised fishing clubs are affiliated to Kingfisher Sport Fishing Association. Amongst these is the "Ghaqda hbieb tal-mulett" that regularly organises mullet fishing competitions.

The Association itself is in turn a founding member of the National Federation of Sea Anglers (Malta) (NSFA) which hosts several other sport fishing associations from all across Malta. Members of KSFA started competing in the national league of the NFSA in 2002.

The Association holds its premises in Marsascala, in the south of Malta.

It set up its on-line presence on the internet at the address http://www.kingfishersport.org in 2002.
