Midwest Fly Fishing Expo

For two days each March the Michigan Fly Fishing Club (MFFC) hosts the Great Lakes area’s premier event for all things fly fishing — the Midwest Fly Fishing Expo. The extravaganza, presented for 47 years, is the oldest all-fly angling event east of the Mississippi!

The show is organized and run by MFFC volunteers. It features free seminars about fly fishing skills, casting, techniques and destinations.  We have free casting and fly tying seminars.  Exhibitors include outfitters and retailers from across the country.  You can see fly tying materials, waders, rod, reels, net building artisans, artists, authors, dealers in rare and collectible books and memorabilia and conservation organizations.

Best of all, because the 53-year-old MFFC is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, proceeds from the Expo flow right back to support the Club’s educational programs and to fund a variety of grants conservation organizations across the state to restore and enhance Michigan’s rivers and lakes. Over the years, the MFFC has provided grants totaling more than $420,000 for such causes.

We look forward to your visit!

The Expo is hosted by the Michigan Fly Fishing Club

The Michigan Fly Fishing Club has over 350 members from all backgrounds and levels of fly fishing experience. We love casting, fly tying, rod building, and telling dubious fishing stories. The Club meets bimonthly and organizes outings, educational events, or conservation efforts. Come check us out!

Supporting Conservation

Some of the proceeds from this Expo flow right back to the source – Michigan’s Trout, Salmon, and Steelhead rivers.
