For the first time since 2019, Fly Fishers International (FFI) will hold an in-person event this coming year. The FFI Flyfest will be held Friday & Saturday, September 26 – 27, 2025, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
FFI Flyfest 2025 will once again offer an extensive slate of indoor and outdoor workshops, presentations, and demonstrations for all experience levels and covering topics including fly casting, fly tying, and important conservation partnerships.
Grand Rapids is centrally located and offers easy travel options. It’s also a hub for culture and entertainment options. But probably of greatest interest to attendees will be the area’s excellent fishing. September is prime time for coho salmon runs on the Grand River. And while the downtown area offers good fishing, there are numerous lakes, rivers and streams offering a wide variety of species, including smallmouth and trout.
The Fly Tiers Rendezvous – normally held in September – will be held in conjunction with the FFI Flyfest. More details about Flyfest will be coming over the next few months.
