Over the 31 years this event has been held, it has helped promote fly fishing as well as raise over $200,000 for fisheries habitat improvements, education, scholarships and many other conservation efforts,” said Ken O’Brien, Chair of the Canadian Fly Fishing Forum™. “This is an event for the whole family. Children 16 and under accompanying an adult are admitted free to the exhibit hall, seminars and kids fly tying area.
Offered are five beginner Fly Fishing Seminars.
Also back by popular demand is Fly Fishing for Women to get new comers off in the right direction.
Ken O’Brian added “Another exciting session is Ian Colin James’ seminar “Great Lakes Fly Fishing from Pier and Shore” which proves you can go fly fishing very close to home.”
World-renowned speakers such as Rick Kustich, Bill Spicer, Ian Colin James and Colin McKeown among others share their tips at the 30+ seminars (from beginners to expert level). Some of the numerous topics include: Great Lakes Steelhead, Streamer Techniques, Tackle Basics, Designing the Fly You Need, Knots and Leaders for Beginners and Subsurface Fly Fishing.
