Our 17th annual AMFF Fly Fishing Festival will take place on the museum grounds in beautiful Manchester, Vermont, on Saturday, August 10, from 10 am until 4 pm, rain or shine.
This is our signature event of the summer, featuring a unique collection of vendors, including painters, appraisers, industry artisans and professionals, and other angling-related non-profits. Come enjoy fly tying and casting demonstrations, try your hand at casting vintage rods, learn how to tie a fly, and mingle with like-minded people as you share the joy of the great outdoors.
Join us throughout the day for a wide array of activities, including presentations, competitions, demonstrations, and new exhibitions. From beginner to seasoned angler, our experts will have something for everyone.
