The show is Friday, 3/6 from 1:00 to 9:00 and Saturday, 3/7 from 9:00 to 6:00.
For two days each March, the Michigan Fly Fishing Club (MFFC) hosts the Great Lakes-area’s premier event for all things fly fishing — the Midwest Fly Fishing Expo. This learning extravaganza is the oldest all-fly fishing event east of the Mississippi!
Organized and run exclusively by MFFC volunteers, the show typically features five headline speakers, dozens of free seminars about fly fishing skills, techniques and destinations, dozens of fly tying demonstrations and more than 120 exhibitors. Exhibitors include outfitters and retailers from across the country, guides, rod- and net-building artisans, artists, authors, dealers in rare and collectible books and memorabilia and conservation organizations.
Best of all, because the 54-year-old MFFC is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, proceeds from the Expo flow right back to support the Club’s educational programs and to fund a variety of grants conservation organizations across the state to restore and enhance Michigan’s rivers and lakes. Over the years the MFFC has provided grants totaling more than $400,000 for such causes.
Admission is $15 for a one day ticket, $20 for a two-day ticket.
We look forward to seeing your there!

This also will include lodging at the White River Trout Lodge on the banks of the White River, 3 meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) per day, rods, flies and other essential equipment.
The cost for transportation to and from the lodge in Cotter, Arkansas will be our own responsibility.
The first guided day is Monday, March 16, 2026. Two anglers per boat is required.
