Be sure to join us on Sept 15 for Tips and Tricks.  In this session members present their favourite tips and tricks to improve your fishing success and enjoyment.  This is always an interesting meeting with great learning points.  Members are reminded that with the COVID situation and other members' level of comfort to remember the 2 meter rule. Face masks are not mandatory at Riverview.  However, we strongly encourage their use, especially during the fly tying sessions. There is a hand sanitizer station available.  

Beginning on September 8, we will be starting at 7:30 instead of 7:00 PM.  We will ask members to sign in on arrival for COVID tracking should it be necessary.

Our annual MFFA fund raising banquet scheduled for October 17 at the Viscount Gort has been postponed to next Spring on April 17, 2021.  Instead we are planning for an informal pizza night combining our awards evening with silent and brown bag auctions on November 10 at 7:30 PM at Riverview.  Auction donations are now being accepted at our weekly meetings.

Don't forget that Orvis, Temple Fork, Simms, and Peak Vises have extended a limited number of discount offers to the club again this year.  As in past years we will be selling raffle tickets at the weekly club meetings when they resume in Sept. for a chance to take advantage of these discounts.

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

If you're like me, by this time of year you're looking forward to wading a flowing river again in the hopes of convincing a trout to inhale one of your newest Winter creations!  Then mark Saturday June 20th on your calendar when once again the MFFA will be working on our latest Whiteshell River Enhancement Project.  We hope to complete work on the Knigfisher Angler Access Trail along with assisting AAE Tech Services with their installation of the MFFA's New In-River Underwater Camera System (the "WOW" or "Window on the Whiteshell").  As always there will be fly fishing opportunities and a hatchery tour associated with this effort.  All interested volunteer members and guests are asked to register with Conservation Chair Bruce Cameron at This email address is being protected from spambots.
