Due to increased concerns regarding the coronavirus, NIFFE 2020 has been cancelled!! We apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause.

03/10/2020

The Kelly Creek Flycasters (KCF) Board of Directors and the NIFFE committee decided to take the advice of many health authorities regarding the COVID-19 virus and has cancelled the 2020 North Idaho Fly Fishing Expo that had been scheduled for March 19th and 20th at the Red Lion Hotel in Lewiston Idaho. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause but feel that in the interest of public safety that we must take this action. The Expo draws several hundred people from Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Utah, placing them near one another which would violate the recommendation of avoiding larger social gatherings. KCF is a 501c3 non-profit organization and is dedicated to the safety and wellbeing of our friends and all of the those who contribute to the success of the Expo.
