Alright, listen up, you trout bums and dry fly diehards. Quiet Please here, and we’ve got some juicy fly fishing news that’s been making the rounds lately. First off, mark your calendars for July 12th through the 19th, because Idaho Falls is about to be the epicenter of women’s fly fishing. The USA Fly Fishing Women’s Team is hosting and competing in the 4th World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship right there on the Snake River. Last year, Tess Weigand and Melissa Smith brought home gold and silver, so the bar is high. But it’s not just about medals; it’s about growing the sport, protecting our waters, and inspiring the next generation. Every cast, every competition, every conservation effort is part of a bigger mission.
Now, let’s talk about some changes hitting the water. Nebraska anglers, you’re gonna want to pay attention. Starting January 1st, 2025, the fishing regulations in the state have been updated. At Frye Lake Wildlife Management Area, there’s no more minimum length limit for black bass, but you can only keep one fish that’s 18 inches or longer in your five-fish daily bag. At places like Prairie View Lake and Wagon Train State Recreation Area, there’s a protected slot of 15-18 inches, and again, only one fish over 18 inches. And if you’re heading to Patriot Park Lake, you’ll need to make sure your fish is at least 21 inches. For trout, Two Rivers State Recreation Area Trout Lake is now catch and release only, and you won’t need a trout tag to fish there starting June 1st. The bait rules have also changed, so make sure you check the 2025 Fishing Guide before you head out.
Out in Michigan, the 2025 fishing season kicked off April 1st, and there are some new regs to keep in mind. The steelhead and muskie size limits have been tweaked, and there are new gear restrictions on some waters. For example, some streams no longer have a 20-inch minimum size limit on steelhead, and there are new single-pointed hook regulations in the ports of Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Whitehall/Montague from November 1st to 30th. Spearing or possessing spearing gear is now prohibited in these waters during that period. So, if you’re planning a trip to Michigan, make sure you’re up to speed on the latest rules.
And for those of you who are always on the lookout for the latest gear, Hatch Magazine just dropped their spring 2025 roundup. Scientific Angler has launched a trio of new striper lines, including the Sonar Striper Intermediate and the Sonar Striper I/5/7. These lines are designed to load quickly and deliver big flies at a distance, which is perfect for those of us chasing stripers. If you’re a closet carp junkie, it’s about time to start looking for big carp moving into the shallows along the Snake River Plain.
So, there you have it, folks. Whether you’re prepping for a world championship, hitting the waters in Nebraska or Michigan, or just looking to upgrade your gear, there’s plenty to keep you busy and excited about fly fishing in 2025. Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
