The Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo is a celebration of fly fishing, its environs and the people who share in its majesty.
Our expo is the largest fly fishing event in the region. With vendors from the Midwest and across the country including fly shops, guides, top brands, outfitters and non-profits, we offer the newest and best in the world of fly fishing. We also place a strong emphasis on fly fishing education and there will be over three dozen free programs and seminars, as well as on-going free casting instruction taking place over the three days of the event. Proceeds benefit the non-profit Minnesota Trout Unlimited.
