Exciting news!  The International Fly Fishing Film Festival is coming to Winnipeg on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at the Park Theatre.  Doors open at 6:30 PM, film at 7:00 PM. Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased at the door or on our promotional page here. Check out the trailer there, it’s very cool!  You can also pick up tickets at our regular club meetings.  More information can be found at flyfilmfest.com, including some pretty exciting trailers.

The IF4 features short films from all corners of the globe showcasing the passion, lifestyle and culture of fly fishing. All Manitoba screening procedes go toward conservation, education, and promotion of fly fishing in Manitoba. 

Due to current Covid restrictions in Manitoba, our weekly meetings will be cancelled until we are allowed to meet indoors with 50 participants.  

The MFFA is developing a new fishing mentorship program whereby beginners are matched up with experienced fishermen.  If you would like to be a mentor, or are looking for the opportunity to head out with an experienced fisherman, log into the website and submit your name in the "Mentorship Program" category in the MFFA Fly Fishing Forum, or click here.  We'll see what we can do to hook you up.
