Here is the write-up from the MWF:

The Manitoba Fly Fishers Association (MFFA) is a prominent entity within the outdoor community, deeply entrenched in the realm of recreational angling. It prides itself on fostering inclusivity, welcoming anglers of all skill levels, and offering mentorship opportunities provided by some of the most proficient fly-fishing enthusiasts in Manitoba. The association has demonstrated its commitment to community engagement and collaboration by actively volunteering at numerous Manitoba Wildlife Federation (MWF) events, such as Becoming an Outdoorswoman, and collaborating on Learn to Fly-Fish initiatives. Regular weekly meetings serve as a cornerstone for fostering camaraderie among anglers while also serving as a platform for educational enrichment. Distinguished guests, including notable figures like Phil Rowley and Provincial Biologists, are frequently invited to share their expertise, alongside engaging fly-tying seminars and rod building courses. Upholding a stringent code of ethics and stewardship, the MFFA prioritizes the sustainability of fisheries, ensuring their long-term viability and health. MWF is honoured to present this year’s affiliate of the Year to the Manitoba Fly Fishers Association.
