About cisa

Canadian International Sportfishing Association (CISA

 The Canadian International Sportfishing Association (CISA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting competitive sportfishing in Canada. CISA plays a pivotal role in facilitating Team Canada’s participation in prestigious international events, including the Pan American Championships and World Championships, under the governance of the International Sport Fishing Confederation (CIPS) and the International Federation of Sport Fishing in Fresh Waters (FIPS-ed).

CISA operates through its two branches: Canada Bass and Canada Kayak, each focused on fostering Canadian representation at international competitions.

CISA also proudly hosts premier domestic events such as the CISA Kingston Opens, bringing together top anglers from across the country to showcase their skills and passion for the sport.

Our mission is to:

  • Maintain a sustainable organization to support Canada Bass and Canada Kayak teams in their efforts to compete at the Pan American and World Championships.
  • Promote the growth of sportfishing across Canada and inspire participation at all levels.
  • Subsidize qualified athletes, through fundraising, corporate sponsorship, and government support, covering up to 100% of expenses for Team Canada members representing the nation in Pan American and World Championship events.

CISA is proud to champion Canadian anglers through world-class events like the Kingston Opens and ensure they have the resources and opportunities to excel on the global stage.

CIPS and Fips-ed

  

The International Sport Fishing Confederation (CIPS) and the International Federation of Sport Fishing in Fresh Waters (FIPS-ed) are the Governing bodies by which CISA exists and operates.  The goals of these Governing Bodies are to promote the sport across the Globe with the ultimate goal of achieving inclusion in the Olympic games.
