Does anyone know when the 2017 fly fishing expo will be held?

Thanks

No Expo this year. Here is a portion of the post by the Forum Owners back at the end of June:

 

In January of 2001 Calgarians were introduced to the Western Canadian Fly Fishing Exposition. Over the last 14 years it has grown to represent all of western Canada and throughout that time so many great friendships have been formed. The show floor is always packed full of folks who have become part of our extended family. The exposition has become the annual "watering hole" for the western Canadian fly-fishing community, is well respected by industry and is a must attend event on the consumer show circuit.

For the Bird family, this event has afforded the opportunity to remain close, which for us, is so much more valuable than any financial measurement. So many good things have come from the exposition, including Fly Fusion Magazine, the International Fly Fishing Film Festival, Fly Fusion Television and a new project in development. We can’t begin to express just how grateful we are to you, the exhibitors, for your loyal dedication.

For the 2017 trade show season we have decided to not produce the exposition. Instead, we are going to take the opportunity to join the show circuit (The Fly Fishing Shows) and visit a number of different cities throughout North America with the magazine - that is long overdue!

We believe wholeheartedly in the value of connecting with the fly-fishing community face-to-face. We are not closing the doors on the exposition and hold the ongoing option, desire and capacity to produce the Western Canadian Fly Fishing Exposition at any time in partnership with the will and needs of the fly-fishing community.

On behalf of the Bird family - thank you! "

Get yer fix and plan to come to the conclave in Lethbridge. Small but mighty. The last couple of years I've only been able to make it to the Friday night film event, but have heard great things about the Saturday. I assume the group down here is planning it again for early March'ish.

Went last year for the first time and I'll be back this year. Great format and lots of fun.
