MFFA Meetings Cancelled

Due to new Covid orange-level restrictions in Manitoba, our weekly meetings will be cancelled until we are allowed to meet indoors with 50 participants.  This will include our Awards Night and Fundraiser scheduled for November 8.

MFFA Mentorship Program

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. 

Fly Fishing/Fly Tying Courses

2020 Fly Fishing Courses

Due to the Covid-19 restrictions still in place and how they would affect the effectiveness of running a course, the 2020 Fly Fishing Course is cancelled.  The next course is planned for May 2021 and will be held during the weekend before fishing season opening.  Information will be provided in due course.

Bruce Cameron

While Covid restrictions certainly limited the MFFAʼs activities for a few months, thankfully things managed to lighten up this spring just in time for our planned Whiteshell River Conservation Outing on June 20th. Read all about it here.
