  • "Fly Fishing Soars: USA Team Wins Bronze, Gear Innovations, and Regulation Updates"
    2025/07/10
    Big news for all you fly fishers out there—let’s dive into what’s been happening in our world lately! First off, if you haven’t heard, the USA Fly Fishing Team just took home the team bronze at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships over in the Czech Republic. That’s back-to-back bronze medals for the team, showing just how sharp these anglers are on the global stage. Michael Bradley, hailing from Cherokee, North Carolina, pulled some seriously impressive casts and snagged the individual bronze, out-fishing some of the biggest names out there. Not bad for a crew that, just a couple decades ago, wouldn’t have been on anyone’s international radar. All this talk about “competitive fly fishing” might drive some folks nuts, but you gotta respect the dedication and focus it takes to land a podium finish at worlds, especially against the home team in Czechia, where fly fishing is basically a national sport.

    If you’re less about international competition and more about getting on the water yourself, heads up—regulation changes are rolling in for 2025. In Nebraska, for example, there are new black bass rules at several lakes, and catch-and-release is now cool for trout at Two Rivers State Rec Area’s Trout Lake (Lake No. 5). You can also leave the trout tag at home if you wait until June. Over in California, they’re shaking things up too: this year’s supplemental regulation booklet will be the last one before everything moves into the main fishing booklet, and California is still offering two Free Fishing Days this summer—July 5 and August 30. No license required, but all other rules still apply, so don’t skimp on the report cards.

    On the lighter side, if you’re itching for some inspiration and fresh ideas, the 19th annual Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) is making its way across the US with more than 300 screenings—a true pilgrimage for those who’d rather watch trout rise on the big screen before making it happen themselves. This year’s lineup is all about jaw-dropping landscapes, wild stories, and once-in-a-lifetime fish. Whether you’re in Albany, Orlando, Cle Elum, or Lake City, there’s a screening coming your way. It’s a great chance to get together with other anglers, swap stories, and maybe pick up a tip or two you can actually use on your next outing.

    And speaking of tips, the gear scene for 2025 is wild. Scientific Anglers just rolled out the Launch Pad, a clever silicone mat designed to keep your fly line tidy whether you’re casting for stripers on the flats or trying to keep it together in your buddy’s drift boat. No more stepping on your line just as a redfish comes sideways out of the grass—this thing looks like it might actually save you a few heartbreaks.

    So whether you’re dreaming of world championships, scouting out the best new gear, or arguing with your buddy about the new regs, it’s a good time to be part of the fly fishing crowd. Thanks for tuning in—swing by next week for more local news and tall tales from the water. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more, check out QuietPlease.ai.

  • Fly Fishing Show Returns in 2025 with $100K in Prizes and International Film Festival
    2025/07/09
    If you’ve been waiting for some good fly fishing stories straight out of today’s headlines, you’re in for a treat. Let’s kick things off with news that’ll get any gearhead’s heart racing—the Fly Fishing Show is back for 2025, and it’s bigger than ever. The tour kicks off in Marlborough, Massachusetts, with a seriously tempting $100,000 in door prizes. After that, it’s making stops in seven cities from Atlanta to Denver to Pleasanton, giving everyone a shot at rubbing elbows with legends, casting the latest rods, and stalking those elusive tying materials. The coolest part? Each stop also doubles as a showing of the International Fly Fishing Film Festival. This year’s must-see is The Silent Spotter, a short film already getting rave reviews. If you love fly fishing for more than just the fish—if you’re in it for the community, the stories, and the stoke—this is the event you don’t want to miss.

    Let’s move to the water, where Michigan’s 2025 fishing season just opened with some changes everyone should know about. Steelheaders, pay attention: some rivers no longer have that old 20-inch minimum on steelhead, but you’re still limited to one per day. If you’re fishing the ports of Grand Haven, Muskegon, or Whitehall/Montague in November, remember that it’s single-pointed hooks only, and leave your spearing gear at home—new rules strictly prohibit it during that month. And for those muskie hunters out there, Thornapple Lake and Lake Hudson just bumped up their minimum size to a whopping 50 inches, all in an effort to build up a robust Great Lakes muskie population for stocking. Before you hit your favorite Michigan honey hole, double-check those regs so you don’t get caught out.

    In competitive news, the USA Fly Fishing Team just snagged a bronze at the World Championships in the Czech Republic for the second year in a row. Michael Bradley, hailing from Cherokee, North Carolina, also landed an individual bronze, beating out some of the most talented anglers on the planet. These guys are pushing the limits of what’s possible with a fly rod, showing the world just how strong the American fly fishing scene really is.

    Lastly, if you love gear as much as you love fishing, this spring has seen a wave of new products hitting the shelves. From premium rods and reels to fresh wading boots and every accessory you can imagine, manufacturers all over the country are tempting us to upgrade our kits—right as trout are getting hungry and carp are cruising the shallows from the Driftless to the Snake.

    Thanks for tuning in to this week’s fly fishing news roundup. We’ll have more stories, gear, and river rumors coming your way next week, so be sure to come back for another round. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, head over to QuietPlease Dot A I. Tight lines until next time!

    Lastly, the fly fishing gear market is buzzing with new rods, reels, and lines for the 2025 season. It's a great time to upgrade your kit!

  • Exciting 2025 Fly Fishing Scene: Events, Wins, and New Gear on the Horizon
    2025/07/07
    If you’ve been dreaming about what’s next in the world of fly fishing, there’s plenty of buzz right now to keep you tying leaders and marking your favorite river spots. First off, the annual Fly Fishing Show is about to sweep across the country with its 2025 tour, kicking off January 17-19 in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This year, you’ll find more than just rods and reels on display—the prize pool has hit a record high, and the vibe is all about community. It's the one stop where you can rub elbows with everyone from weekend casters to industry legends, pick up that hard-to-find hackle, and maybe even score a door prize worth bragging about. For the film buffs, the International Fly Fishing Film Festival is back, featuring the much-talked-about short, The Silent Spotter, on Friday nights at most shows. After Marlborough, the roadshow is hitting six more cities, so there’s a good chance it’ll land somewhere near your favorite water.

    Not far behind in the news is the USA Fly Fishing Team, who just bagged their second consecutive bronze medal at the World Championships in the Czech Republic. Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina, reeled in the individual bronze, out-fishing some of the top names in the sport. If you’re the type who thinks fly fishing is just about peace and quiet, these folks will show you that it’s also about grit, technique, and serious camaraderie. The team keeps raising the bar for Americans on the world stage, and let’s face it—it’s nice to root for the home squad and see them deliver.

    Switching gears to regulations, California anglers are facing some big changes this season. According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, white sturgeon is now catch-and-release only, as the species was added as a candidate for threatened status under state law. If you’re used to fishing the big ones out of the Sacramento or Delta, know that you can’t keep sturgeon anymore, and there are even tighter rules about handling them—no more dragging across the deck or tail holding for that hero shot. Klamath Basin salmon is also closed for 2025 due to low Chinook returns, though steelhead and brown trout are still fair game, keeping some life in the river scene out west.

    And since no season is complete without new toys, gear nerds will be happy to hear that 2025 has brought a serious wave of fly fishing gadgets. Scientific Anglers dropped their Launch Pad, a slick, UV-resistant silicone mat you plop on the bow to manage your fly line so it doesn’t tangle or slide into the drink right before that crucial cast. There are stacks of new rods, waders, boots, and more hitting fly shops coast to coast, just in time for spring trout and those first shots at big carp moving into the shallows.

    That’s the pulse of what’s happening in American fly fishing right now—big events, major wins, tough conservation calls, and enough new gear to make your wallet sweat. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more from me check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • Fly Fishing Fever: New Gear, Regulations, and Competitive Triumphs Ignite Excitement in the Angling World
    2025/07/07
    Big news in the fly fishing world lately and plenty to get excited about if you’ve got a rod in the back of your truck or flies stuck in your car’s ceiling. Just a couple weeks ago, the USA Fly Fishing Team brought home yet another bronze medal at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships. The whole crew headed over to Czech Republic, and not only did the team land on the podium for a second year running, but Michael Bradley out of Cherokee, North Carolina, hooked individual bronze as well. If you don’t know Bradley—let’s just say that guy can read water better than most folks can read a map in their own hometown. Some might roll their eyes at competitive angling, but honestly, the skills these folks put on display are next-level and it shines a pretty bright spotlight on American fly fishing talent.

    Meanwhile, if you’ve got your eyes set on Michigan waters this summer, heads up—there’s a handful of fresh regulations in effect for the 2025 season. Steelhead junkies will notice new size limit tweaks on some rivers, and anybody hunting big muskies on Thornapple Lake or Lake Hudson needs to know there’s now a 50-inch minimum. Some stretches near Grand Haven and Muskegon are under new single-hook rules in November, and don’t even think about spearing in those waters during that time. The DNR is serious about keeping these fisheries healthy, so check out the regs before you go. Handy tip: buy your fishing license online now; they’re cracking down on that too.

    Gear-heads are in for a treat this year, too. Hatch Magazine put out their Spring 2025 roundup and the industry went all-in—tons of new rods, reels, and more are flooding the shops. Doesn’t matter if you’re swinging streamers for Appalachian brookies, stalking carp in Idaho, or chasing tarpon along the Gulf, there’s something new that’s calling your name. There are even more durable wading boots and lightweight jackets for those dawn-to-dusk sessions. And if you’re one of those that chases trout hatches, the big news out west is that Green Drakes and Salmonflies are popping all over central Oregon and the Metolius is fishing prime right now.

    And since everyone loves a local tip, don’t forget that free fishing day is coming up in California on August 30. No license needed—just follow the rules, bring your report card if you’re chasing species that require it, and get out there. Plus, white sturgeon season is catch-and-release only and the regs are tight—don’t even haul those brutes out of the water. Pay attention, because the fish and game wardens sure are.

    Whether you’re out there rubbing shoulders with the country’s best on the competition circuit, tinkering with fresh rods and lines from the spring gear drop, or just sneaking away for a few casts before sunset, 2025 is shaping up to be a killer season for American fly fishers. Keep it tight, follow the regs, and may your drifts be drag-free.

  • "Fly Fishing Soars in the USA: Podium Finishes, New Regulations, and Gear Innovations"
    2025/07/06
    The US fly fishing scene has been buzzing lately with news that’ll get any angler itching to hit the water. Let’s kick things off with a massive shoutout to the USA Fly Fishing Team, who just brought home a team bronze at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic. That’s two years running for a podium spot, and Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina, snatched the individual bronze as well. Sure, some folks might roll their eyes at competitive fly angling, but these guys are putting in serious river time and showing the world just how good American fly fishers have become. The camaraderie at these events is something special, too—win, lose, or draw, it’s a community that roots for each other.

    Over in Michigan, fly fishers are combing through the new 2025 regulations as the season opens up. If you’re swinging for steelhead in the inland streams, pay attention: some rivers have dropped the 20-inch minimum, but it’s still one fish per day for steelhead—no more “just one more cast” if you’ve got your limit. There are also fresh hook restrictions in hotspots like Grand Haven and Muskegon, and a beefed-up 50-inch size minimum for muskie on lakes like Thornapple and Hudson. The state’s using these lakes to create a strong line of Great Lakes-strain muskies for future generations, so keep your tape measure handy and brush up on the new rules before heading out.

    California anglers are also navigating some major changes. The Department of Fish and Wildlife dropped a big one: white sturgeon are now catch-and-release only starting this year, as they’re up for consideration under the state’s threatened species list. That means if you snag one, you can’t haul it out for a hero shot suspended by the gills or tail—handle them gently and keep them wet. Free Fishing Days are coming up on July 5 and August 30, so if your buddy’s been slacking on getting a license, tell him to save the date and come along for some legal fun.

    And as you’re gearing up for all these new regulations and hot hatches, don’t sleep on the latest gear drops. Hatch Magazine just put out their spring 2025 roundup, and it’s a tackle shop junkie’s dream: new rods, reels, lines, boots, you name it. Whether you’re wading through the Appalachian brook trout streams, stalking Midwest carp, or targeting tarpon along the Gulf, there are updated tools to give you a leg up (or just an excuse to add to the quiver).

    Put it all together and this is a banner season for fly fishers, whether you chase trout with tiny dries, swing for steelhead, or just want an excuse to spend more time on the water. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your kit, learning the regs, or planning a trip, there’s never been a better time to be a fly angler in the States.

  • "USA Fly Fishing Team Secures Bronze Medals at World Championships, Showcasing Domestic Talent"
    2025/07/05
    If you’ve spent any time drifting flies or swapping fishing stories lately, there’s a good chance you’ve caught wind of the USA Fly Fishing Team’s latest fireworks overseas. Last week, the team came back from the World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic with not just one, but two bronze medals: a team medal and an individual medal for Michael Bradley out of Cherokee, North Carolina. That’s two years running on the podium—proving our local talent can tango with the best from Europe to New Zealand. Some folks might roll their eyes at “competitive” fly fishing, but spend a few hours watching these anglers and you’ll respect the skill it takes to coax wild fish on pressured water. There’s a sense of real camaraderie among the competition crowd, too, even when the home team is the one to beat.

    Back stateside, if your gear stash is due for a refresh, 2025’s new rods, reels, and waders have started hitting fly shops from Bozeman to the Blue Ridge. Hatch Magazine's roundup this spring featured over 60 new products, ranging from top-shelf rods that almost cast themselves to fresh soft goods and the latest in sticky-rubber wading boots. Big brands seem to be upping their game with lighter blanks, more sensitive tips, and even a few eco-friendly materials. If you’re a closet carp addict, now’s the moment to start chasing gold in the Snake River Plain, while the trout crowd is already talking Appalachian brookies and Midwest hatches as dogwoods and redbuds bloom.

    Regulation-wise, there are a handful of rule tweaks anglers should know before wading out this season. In Utah, the Wildlife Board okayed changes for 2025 that include expanded nighttime spearfishing (if that’s your style—some fly fishers may clutch their pearls), and even allow for airguns firing arrows to target carp in any open waterbody. Not exactly your granddad’s fly-fishing scene, but it shows just how much angling is evolving in the West. Meanwhile, Nebraska’s updated rules alter size restrictions for bass, catfish, walleye, and pike, so do yourself a favor and check the new bag limits before you brag about a full cooler at your local fly shop.

    And if you’re out west, it’s that magical window when the Green Drake and Salmonfly hatches are moving into full swing. On the Metolius, hatches of PMDs, Blue Winged Olives, and even the tricky-to-match Nixe are getting guides and locals all fired up. Some say you can’t beat a Purple Comparadun #16 for the PMD hatch, even if conventional wisdom says to go with yellow. Go figure—sometimes the fish are just as quirky as we are.

    So, from the world stage to your homewater, fly fishing in 2025 has something for everyone—new heroes, new gear, evolving rules, and, as always, a fresh hatch to chase. Tight lines out there.

  • USA Fly Fishing Team Snatches Bronze, Michigan Rolls Out New Fishing Regulations, and Gear Galore Hits the Market for 2025 Season
    2025/07/04
    If you’ve been tying up flies at the kitchen table or squinting at water levels on your phone, there’s plenty buzzing in the fly fishing world right now. First off, big congrats are in order: the USA Fly Fishing Team just snagged another bronze at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic, making it two years running on the podium. Even cooler, Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina took home individual bronze, edging out some heavyweights in competitive angling. Not everyone’s sold on the whole competitive fishing scene, but you can’t knock the skills or the sheer hours these folks put in to get there. It’s the kind of result that puts U.S. fly fishers on the world map and sparks plenty of fish camp bragging rights.

    Swinging over to the home front, Michigan just rolled out new fishing regs for the 2025 season, and there’s stuff every trout bum and steelhead junkie needs to know. A bunch of changes hit steelhead rules on certain inland streams—some spots dropped the 20-inch minimum, but you’re still capped at one per day for those chrome rockets. There are also new single-pointed hook rules and bans on spearing gear in popular ports like Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Whitehall/Montague for November, which will change how folks chase big lake-run fish. And muskie fans: both Thornapple Lake and Lake Hudson are now 50-inch minimum water, upping the challenge in some of the state’s prime muskie nurseries. As always, you’ll want to check the latest DNR book or app before you head out, because the details really do matter.

    Now for something that’ll get your gear-geek wheels spinning: 2025 has unleashed a flood of new fly rods, reels, boots, lines, and soft goods. The spring gear roundup from Hatch Magazine has just about everything covered, whether you’re looking to splurge on a flagship rod or finally replace those leaky waders. Carp heads can get set for prime-time Snake River Plain action, while anyone itching for warmwater stuff should have their eyes on new lines and lighter rods, perfect for backwater reds or even early season Appalachian brookies. The manufacturers have gone all-in this year, giving anglers a ridiculous menu of options no matter where or what you fish for.

    And just in case you’ve been itching to match the hatch, there’s classic action happening out West. The Salmonfly hatch is currently lighting up some legendary rivers, with the usual rumors swirling about which exact bend is packed with two-footers feasting on those big bugs. But don’t sleep on the Green Drakes either—reports from Central Oregon say that hatch is just getting started, with Metolius regulars already swapping stories at the shop about which comparadun or purple-bodied special is fooling the pickiest trout.

    Between world-class accolades, new rules that keep everyone guessing, fresh gear to drool over, and hatches that make you wish vacation days grew on trees, it’s a prime time to be part of the fly fishing crowd in the States. Now go check your knots and make sure your license isn’t expired—there’s never been a better reason to sneak in a few casts.
