Fly Fishers International’s FlyFest, presented by The Fly Shop, returns September 24–26 in Redding, California, bringing anglers together for three days of learning, connection, and celebration in Northern California’s trout country.

As FFI’s signature event, FlyFest welcomes anglers of all ages and skill levels. Held at the Redding Civic Auditorium, the weekend features expert-led presentations, casting and fly-tying demonstrations, and a vibrant consumer trade show, all designed to create meaningful opportunities to learn, connect, and share in the culture of fly fishing.

One simple registration includes access to all core programming, with optional small-group seminars available for those looking to go deeper. The event concludes with a community dinner and fundraising auction in support of FFI’s mission and conservation efforts.

Rooted in education, community, and stewardship, FlyFest is a gathering fly anglers won’t want to miss.
