in addition, the club's members come together each spring to present the annual midwest fly fishing exposition. in 2004, the expo moved to a new home, the sports & exposition center at macomb community college's south campus in warren, mi. our new venue enabled us expand the show and bring great lakes-area flyfishers the newest, best and brightest product offerings and information that our sport has to offer.
