  • Fly Fishing Trends and Regulations: A Comprehensive Update

    Fly Fishing Trends and Regulations: A Comprehensive Update
    2025/10/19
    If you’ve been out on the river lately—or even just hanging around your local fly shop—you’ve probably picked up on some of the fresh buzz in the world of US fly fishing. Let’s dive into what’s turning heads this fall and what’s got river rats, gear junkies, and trip-chasers talking.

    First up, gear trends: According to the folks at Angling Trade, die-hard anglers are driving most of the action right now. That pandemic boom of newbies is settling out some, but the real heads are still out there, chasing wild browns and wily rainbows. Shops around the Rockies, especially in spots like Colorado, are still seeing plenty of business from Texans and other road-trip warriors all summer. While there was a flush of hot designer rods and reels last year, things have cooled for high-end gear at the moment—most folks are punching the clock with what they've got, waiting for the next big innovation to drop before splashing out for something new. In the meantime, regional adventures are more popular than ever, with people loading up the car and hitting closer-to-home waters instead of flying off somewhere exotic.

    If you’re itching for an event to rally around, mark your calendar for next summer. Idaho Falls is set to host the 4th FIPS Mouche World Youth & Ladies Fly Fishing Championship in July 2025, as USAngling proudly reports. This is huge for both the local scene and the US fly fishing community. Expect anglers from across the globe to be throwing tight loops on legendary waters like the Snake River. Not only is it a shot at gold for some of the best in the sport, but it's also a massive step in encouraging more women and young folks to get into fly fishing. The USA Women's Fly Fishing Team just took home Team Gold and nabbed individual gold and silver—there’s a ton of pride and momentum in this space right now.

    Meanwhile, on the regulation front, some big news is coming out of California, where the Fish and Game Commission just loosened depth restrictions for groundfish north of Point Conception following a rebound in quillback rockfish, as shared by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. This opens up new opportunities along the coast, especially for anglers who like to mix it up and swing between trout streams and ocean runs. Keep your eyes on CDFW announcements for the official green light.

    In Michigan, the state’s Natural Resources Commission just approved new trout regulations for several Upper Peninsula inland lakes. These changes, effective immediately, shift some lakes out of the “designated trout” category and update others to reflect their actual fish populations. The idea is to keep angling opportunities vibrant not just for trout nuts, but for all folks who want to cast a line for whatever’s biting. Regulars on those waters—here’s your reminder to check up on what’s open before you wade in.

    Thanks for tuning in to this week’s round-up. Whether you’re tying flies by the fire, chasing winter hatches, or counting down to next season’s adventure, keep your line tight and your outlook loose. Swing back around next week for more, and remember—this has been a Quiet Please production. For more, head over to Quiet Please dot A I.

  • Fly Fishing Frenzy Across the US: Catch the Latest Trends, Debates, and Bucket-List Trips

    Fly Fishing Frenzy Across the US: Catch the Latest Trends, Debates, and Bucket-List Trips
    2025/10/18
    It’s a wild ride in the world of fly fishing across the US right now, and if you haven’t been paying attention, you’re missing out! So grab your coffee and settle in for this week’s round-up of what’s fresh, what’s heated, and what’s turning heads in our favorite sport.

    First off, there's some real buzz out West: Idaho Falls is set to host the 4th FIPS Mouche World Youth & Ladies Fly Fishing Championship in July 2025. That means anglers from all over the world are flocking to the legendary Snake River, and the local women’s fly fishing scene is absolutely electric. USAngling says the event is all about skill, friendship, and showing off the craft on some of the finest water around. If you’ve ever wanted to see elite competition—this is your year to make the trip, rub shoulders at the river, and tip your hat to those raising the bar for women in the sport.

    Now whip around to the East, and the news is crackling with debate in New Hampshire. The state’s Fish and Game Department wants to change things up for the 2025 season, slashing the number of “fly fishing only” trout ponds from 27 to just 5. That’s got local fly fishers out in force, voicing worries that trophy waters will decline and small tackle shops might take a hit. According to Fly Fishing Daily, those public meetings have been packed with honest opinions and plenty of fish tales. If you care about tradition and local fishing culture, you’ll want to keep an eye on what happens—New England doesn’t mess around when it comes to their trout.

    Meanwhile, out in California’s Eastern Sierra, it may be winter, but anglers aren’t slowing down. Golden Trout Guiding Co. reports cold, sunny days and low water flows, but folks still grind out some great river time. The big news? They’ve got a “Golden Trout Excursion” launching July 27, with spots already filling up fast. This trip is a bucket-list week: think remote creeks, pure goldens, dry flies, and waking up with the fish right outside your tent. Last year folks caught dozens daily, all topwater—pure magic. If you want in, better jump quick, because these kinds of trips don’t stick around.

    For those who geek out on gear, Hatch Magazine has the lowdown on the spring’s wild gear roundup—over 60 new products for 2025, from slick rods and shooting lines to wading boots and hats for every budget. Whether you’re in the market for an upgrade or just like to drool over what’s new, this is a bonanza for gearheads. Word is, this spring’s must-haves are flying off shelves, but don’t feel like you need to drop big cash. Local shops say the real stick-around trends are folks getting outside, hitting favorite waters close to home, and hunting fish wherever the season calls.

    Across the board, what’s clear is that fly fishing isn’t losing its spark—whether it’s battling new regs, leveling up the competition, or hunting goldens in the Sierra wild. Thanks for tuning in and catching up on the latest with me. Don’t forget to swing back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines, my friends!

  • Fly Fishing Enthusiasts: Upcoming Events, New Regulations, and Gear Trends You Can't Miss

    Fly Fishing Enthusiasts: Upcoming Events, New Regulations, and Gear Trends You Can't Miss
    2025/10/17
    For the die-hard fly fishers out there, this week’s US news brought plenty of action, new regs, and a few upcoming events that you might want to jot down.

    First off, mark your calendar for July 12-19, 2025 because Idaho Falls is gearing up to host the 4th World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship. USAngling has lured in the top women and youth fly anglers worldwide to show off their skills on the legendary Snake River and surrounding waters. It’s not just a competition—expect some first-rate camaraderie and fresh stories from all corners of the globe to converge in what’s always been hallowed water for hard-core fly casters.

    Over in California, the Fish and Game Commission just finalized some new regulations. A big one: sturgeon fishing is closed for keepers, but you can still catch and release if you’re quick—the emergency rule is locked in place through September 9, 2025. The sturgeon populations have been shaky, so this move buys a little breathing room. Salmon season rules are also adjusting to stay in step with the feds, so if you’re headed to NorCal rivers, make sure you’re up on the changes before packing the cooler.

    Arkansas trout bums might already know about the emergency order that rolled out for the tailwaters below Bull Shoals and Norfork dams. It’s catch-and-release only in the honey holes below the dams, and the slot limit downstream means only two trout per angler, with one allowed over 14 inches. That’s all in effect now, according to the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission. So new plan: hit the tailwaters for a little CPR—catch, photo, release—and leave the stringers in the truck.

    Not everything is about rules, though. In the Eastern Sierra, guides are already buzzing about spring clinics and golden trout excursions in 2025. The Golden Trout Guiding Company is lining up clinics in April for newbies and hosting their legendary weeklong adventure for pure-strain goldens in late July. If you’ve ever dreamed about waking up to the sound of California’s most prized native trout rising for bugs, maybe this is your year. The guides say spots are filling up fast, so don’t sleep on it.

    And if you’re tracking gear trends, this season’s buying pulse is solid, but word on the street is that the odds of selling the next “game-changing” rod are low until someone brings real innovation. Angling Trade notes that more folks are staying regional and road tripping to favorite haunts—so top off that gas tank and roll out for some local action.

    Thanks for tuning in! Swing by again next week for another dose of fly fishing news. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more stories and updates, check out QuietPlease Dot A I.

  • Fly Fishing Trends: Regional Trips, Gear Updates, and Competition Dominance

    Fly Fishing Trends: Regional Trips, Gear Updates, and Competition Dominance
    2025/10/16
    In the world of American fly fishing, you know it’s never just about casting line—it’s about chasing water, swapping stories, and staying up with what’s new, weird, and wild. Let’s get into a few hot topics making waves right now.

    Anyone who’s shopped for gear or booked a trip lately knows the scene’s been a little funky since the pandemic. According to Angling Trade, the COVID-era “newbie boom” is finally cooling; participation is leveling out now that life has gone back to more or less normal. But don’t worry—the hardcores aren’t going anywhere, and Texas folks are still swarming Colorado shops every summer, keeping river guides busier than a mayfly hatch on a warm June night. People are still staying regional for trips, loading up racks and hitting blue lines closer to home if the big destination adventures aren’t in the cards. And as for gear, it’s been a slow year for major new rod releases, but everyone’s counting down to the next must-have 9-foot 5-weight rod that’ll make the gearheads drool.

    Over in Michigan, trout folks are keeping their eyes on new regulations that just dropped for several inland lakes in the Upper Peninsula. The Michigan DNR rolled out changes this month intended to balance growing interest in lake fishing with keeping wild trout healthy for seasons to come. Expect to see updated limits and size minimums, so it's worth a pit-stop at the local fly shop or checking the new rules online before rigging up. These adjustments come after evidence of increased pressure on those lakes by anglers looking for something away from crowded streams.

    If you’re a saltwater junkie or like mixing it up on trips, you’ll appreciate what Outdoor Alabama is reporting—it’s the wild west for redfish down there. Some major bag and size limit changes went through this summer. For red drum, there’s now a hard slot: you can only keep fish between 16-26 inches, and nothing bigger. That’s a move to protect brood stock for the future. You can also only keep up to three per person, and if you’re after sheepshead, you’ll be limited to eight a day now. And in a twist, snook—once rare in Alabama—are showing up enough that they’ve slapped a bag and size limit on those too. It's proof that even fly fishing regs have to keep up with changes in our coastal ecosystem.

    Finally, competition anglers had a treat out west. According to MidCurrent and coverage on YouTube, the 2025 Fly Fishing Team USA National Championship happened just this summer in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Anglers took on five venues—including the famous Henry’s Fork and stretches of the Graze River. The scene was serious fish-by-fish competition, with some tough lake sessions and a ton of camaraderie off the water. There’s a lot of energy right now around both the youth team clinics (the U.S. Youth Team just dominated at the world championship), and the grownup league making a real run internationally. It’s a reminder that for some, “just fishing” means medals, sponsors, and a heck of a lot of practice.

    Thanks for tuning in to this week’s take on what’s new and exciting in the U.S. fly fishing world. We hope you learned something that’ll help your next day on the water or at least keep you in the loop at the local shop. Be sure to come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production—for more, check out QuietPlease dot A I. Tight lines and see you all soon!

  • "USA Youth Fly Fishing Team Dominates World Championship: A Roundup of Fly Fishing News and Trends Across the Country"

    "USA Youth Fly Fishing Team Dominates World Championship: A Roundup of Fly Fishing News and Trends Across the Country"
    2025/10/15
    Fly fishing folks, it’s been an electric few weeks from coast to coast. Here’s what's buzzing right now on streams, in shops, and even out in Idaho where Team USA took home the gold at the 22nd FIPS-Mouche World Youth Fly Fishing Championship. The US Youth Fly Fishing Team absolutely dominated—47 top young guns from eight countries battled it out over five venues in the Golden Triangle of Fly Fishing that stretches from Montana through Wyoming and into Idaho. Talk about a proud moment for locals who know those waters. If you know anyone under 18, tell them to check out the upcoming regional clinics in Idaho Falls this July. These Team USA kids are showing the rest of the world what “western water tactics” are all about—and yeah, the next generation is officially hooked.

    Meanwhile, if Michigan’s your home river, don’t show up without a copy of the new fishing regs. According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the 2025 season brought a slew of changes—especially for steelheaders. Some streams dropped the 20-inch minimum size limit, but the daily possession limit’s still one. Muskellunge hunters, you’re now looking at a 50-inch minimum size in Thornapple Lake and Lake Hudson. Don’t even think about spearing in the ports of Grand Haven, Muskegon, or Whitehall/Montague this November. Single-pointed hook rules are in play for those waters, and enforcement’s strict this year as the DNR continues cultivating a population of Great Lakes-strain muskies for future stockings. Before you tie on, check the Michigan Fishing Regulations guide or get the Hunt Fish app loaded.

    Not enough? Here’s more local flavor. The California crew in the Eastern Sierra is already booking out for spring and summer. The season starts slow with cold, low flows—classic winter struggle—but the guides at Golden Trout Guiding Co. say to get your name down now for their spring clinic on the Owens River in April if you’re new or rusty. For veterans, the epic Golden Trout Excursion fires up this July and August. These trips go deep into remote creeks for pure-strain goldens—a true bucket-list adventure. Some days, they’re reporting 40 to 100 topwater takes! If you love dry flies and backcountry camping, you’ll want a spot. They haul camp for you. All you have to do is hike, fish, and eat five-star grub by the water. Serious fishy friends are made on these trips, so get on the waitlist if you’re interested.

    And what’s happening in the shops? Angling Trade says the core of fly fishers are still hitting rivers hard, but the “pandemic newbies” wave is flattening out—some stuck with it, others drifted away. Travel is up, especially regional travel: folks road-tripping with rods to get their fix even if big-ticket gear isn’t flying off shelves. If you’ve noticed more Texans on Colorado streams this year, you’re right—shops reported record numbers through Independence Day, and guided trips sold out. The buzz in gear is mellow, but one shop’s advice: keep an eye out for the next cool high-end rod release and support your locals.

    That’s the down-low—Team USA’s got gold, Michigan’s got new regulations, California’s prepping golden trout adventures, and the fly fishing faithful everywhere are making old spots feel new again. Thanks for tuning in to this week’s rundown. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more info, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • Fly Fishing Frenzy: Trout Limits, Gear Trends, and National Competitions Heating Up the Angling World

    Fly Fishing Frenzy: Trout Limits, Gear Trends, and National Competitions Heating Up the Angling World
    2025/10/14
    Let’s talk about the stuff buzzing in fly fishing right now, the kind of stuff folks swap stories about at the shop or riverside. It’s October, but the season’s got a few curveballs and local color worth diving into.

    First up, did you hear about the new trout regulations in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula? The Michigan DNR just rolled out new limits for those northern inland lakes—Type A trout lakes now have a lower minimum size (10 inches) and you can actually keep up to five fish per day. That’s the most generous limit in a while for those lakes and the talk locally is that it should spread out the pressure a bit while giving folks just a little more to take home for the skillet. The idea is to keep those waters hopping for everyone without putting too much of a dent in the stocks.

    Talking to anyone at the local fly shop about gear and buying trends this season? Angling Trade says things are a little funky. The COVID “newbie” boom might have lost steam—a bunch of the fresh faces from 2020 bailed, but the true core die-hards are sticking it out. New fancy rods and reels aren’t flying off shelves, so don’t stress if your set-up is more patched up than pro-shop fresh. Regional travel—like Texas folks flooding Colorado for trout—is still way up, but most of us are saying to heck with expensive salt trips and hitting local creeks or road-tripping a state or two instead.

    National competitions are blowing up too. The 2025 Fly Fishing Team USA National Championships just wrapped in Idaho Falls, and if you haven’t seen the highlights, you’re missing out. Sheridan Lake and Henry’s Fork were key battlegrounds. There’s a grassroots fever for competitive fly fishing these days, even with the pressure and nerves cranked up for anglers who want a shot at making the team. Fulling Mill is backing a chunk of these tournaments, which helps keep things rolling for up-and-comers itching for a shot at the big leagues.

    And on the west coast, California’s new rules for sturgeon are stirring up some dockside debates. Starting this summer, the Fish and Game Commission moved white sturgeon to catch-and-release only in most places after emergency rulemaking. With the sturgeon numbers in trouble, conservation is the name of the game. A bit of a blow for folks who love tangling with these dinosaurs, but the guides are already hustling to refocus on salmon and stripers for those guided trips.

    Thanks for tuning in and swapping stories with us—come back next week for more of the latest from around the rivers, lakes, and fly shops. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • Gear Up for Fly Fishing Season: Latest Trends and Events in the Rocky Mountains and Beyond

    Gear Up for Fly Fishing Season: Latest Trends and Events in the Rocky Mountains and Beyond
    2025/10/13
    As January wraps up, fly fishing chatter is buzzing from Idaho Falls to the high lakes of California and in gear shops across the Rockies. If you’re itching to fool a few trout or curious about what’s changing in the world of fly fishing right now, here’s what you need to know.

    First up, the buzz in the Eastern Sierra is all about the announced Spring Clinic, set for April 12th and 13th this year. The crew at Golden Trout Guiding Co. is bringing it back to basics at the Owens River—perfect for anyone who’s spun a fly rod only once or twice or just watched from the eddy while their friends bragged about topwater eats. With only eight spots and several already spoken for, this event promises two full days of hands-on learning and, of course, new fishy friends. Plan ahead if you’re gunning for that legendary golden trout this summer—these backcountry trips into golden trout territory are nearly full. Folks coming back year after year will vouch for catching “40 to 100 fish a day, and mostly on topwater.” It’s old-school dry-fly heaven, but you better be ready to hike a bit and laugh a lot, maybe even over some five-star streamside meals.

    Meanwhile, the competition flies are out in Idaho Falls, home of the 2025 Fly Fishing Team USA National Championship. According to a recent YouTube vlog from TroutFliesUtah, the event spanned everything from lakes like Sheridan and Hepkin to classic rivers like Henry’s Fork and the Graze. The energy at these competitions is fierce—while a few anglers are there to just be part of the scene, others are gunning for a shot at Team USA and a golden ticket to fish internationally. Major shoutouts go to Fulling Mill for backing American anglers and helping keep the competitive side of our sport alive and well.

    If you’re a gear junkie, you might be noticing something interesting in the shops this year. Angling Trade magazine says the pandemic-era boom is cooling, but the core group—the die-hard regulars—are still buying, still road-tripping, and still getting after it. Local fly shops in Colorado, for example, broke records in July as Texans streamed north to chase summer trout. High-end rods and reels aren’t flying off the shelves quite as fast as last year, but nobody’s stopped inventing or daydreaming about the perfect 9-foot, five-weight. Trends may come and go, but trout remain America’s favorite fish to chase.

    To wrap it up, California anglers have a quirk to check in the new fishing regs this year. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife rolled out free fishing days for July 5th and August 30th in 2025. Everyone—yes, everyone—can fish across the state without a license on those days, though you still need those report cards if you’re after steelhead, salmon, or sturgeon. Mark those dates, start prepping those rigs, and get your neighbor off the couch and on the water.

    Thanks for tuning in and keeping your line wet with us this week. Come back next week for more flies, fish stories, and local news. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more from me, check out QuietPlease.AI.

  • Fly Fishing Changes Shake Up New Hampshire, Michigan, and California Fishing Scenes

    Fly Fishing Changes Shake Up New Hampshire, Michigan, and California Fishing Scenes
    2025/10/12
    First up, let’s talk about New Hampshire—where if you haven’t heard, there’s a serious buzz in the fly fishing community, and not the good kind. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department wants to shake things up big time, cutting fly-fishing-only ponds from 27 to just 5. That means a bunch of water that’s been sacred ground for us long-rodders could get opened to spin tackle. Fly fishers turned out in force at the last hearing to let the officials know just how rough a deal this would be, with folks calling those fly-only waters "sanctuaries" for a reason. They’re worried this’ll kill the trophy trout fishing vibe and put a dent in the small-town fly fishing economy. Word is, it’s still a proposal, but definitely something to keep your eyes on if you fish the Granite State.

    Now, if you’re more in the Midwest groove, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula trout crowd just saw some big rule tweaks. As of October, the Michigan Natural Resources Commission changed the regs on several inland lakes, with some going from special trout rules to more relaxed “Type A” status. That means a lower size minimum—just 10 inches now—and a higher daily limit of five trout on certain lakes. Four lakes even lost their special trout status entirely. The idea here is to open up these spots for multi-species fishing and base the regs on what’s actually living in those waters. Good news or bad, depending on how you feel about competition from the walleye and bass crowd.

    Meanwhile, out in the Eastern Sierra, California’s already gearing up for an epic 2025. According to Golden Trout Guiding Company’s January report, this winter’s been cold and dry, but guides are making the best of it—trading snowstorms for sunny days on the Owens. If you’ve always wanted to get into fly fishing or have a newbie friend, their Spring Clinic is set for April 12th and 13th and already taking names for the waitlist. And if you’re dreaming bigger, they’re hyping their Golden Trout Excursion in late July, where folks got on dry flies for 40 to 100 goldens a day last year. Not a typo. That’s classic bucket-list stuff, and apparently the word’s out since half the spots are already gone. Booking is also open for opening day trout season in late April, plus backcountry trips and more.

    Finally, on the national scene, Fly Fishers International is heading to Grand Rapids for a live event this August, primed for casting clinics, gear talk, and lots of conservation chatter. Their Southeastern Council just put on a youth event and handed out eight Bronze Fly Casting certificates—which is awesome to see, as the next generation steps up to the plate.

    Thanks for tuning in, folks. Stay sharp, keep those knots tight, and circle back next week for more news, rumors, and old-fashioned trout talk. This has been a Quiet Please production, and if you want to find out more or support the show, check out quietplease.ai. See you on the water!
