Author and compiler Paul Marriner provided the MFFA the PDF of Gerry's flies for us to enjoy.  Thank you very much Paul!  Click here to download the PDF

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. 

2021 Fly Fishing Courses

In light of the current COVID 19 restrictions on gatherings, the Fly Fishing Courses planned for May 2 and May 3 are postponed indefinitely. When the COVID 19 situation improves sufficiently, we will select alternate dates and inform all who have registered.  Keep an eye on the website for the most up to date  changes.

Fly Tying Courses

If you are interested in learning to tie your own flies we have a terrific one-day package for you.  Just contact Marcel Duval by email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Or you can register your interest on-line by clicking here.  Once we have sufficient people on the list we will schedule a course and advise everyone.
