If you’re itching for some fly fishing news you won’t hear at the bait shop, grab your coffee and pull up a stool, because there’s plenty percolating across the country right now.
First up, the US is going big this summer in the world of competitive fly fishing. Idaho Falls is set to host the 4th World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship in July 2025. This is the first time the United States is rolling out the red carpet for the globe’s best women anglers, and you bet they’ll be tangling with trophy trout on the Snake—one of those rivers you dream about even when you’re awake. This isn’t just about competition; it’s a chance for anyone local to see legends in action, swap stories, and maybe even get a few pointers bankside. If you’ve never fished Idaho, this summer is the time to wander over and see what all the fuss is about.
Meanwhile, things are mighty heated up in New Hampshire. The Fish and Game Department wants to cut their “fly fishing only” trout ponds from 27 to just five—yep, opening the rest up for spin tackle and artificial lures. Fly folks are pushing back hard, showing up in force at the town meetings to fight for those quiet, rod-only waters. Word is, local guides and shops are sweating the impact on their businesses and the legendary reputation of their wild trout. The next few months will decide if these traditions stick around or become just another fish tale.
Over on the gear front, rumors are floating about some slick new rods coming this fall. Orvis says their made-in-the-USA two-handers are going to change the way we swing for steelhead and big browns, boasting less vibration and more forgiveness than ever before. Core anglers are holding out for that next “holy grail” 9-foot 5-weight, because let’s face it—no one can resist trying something new, even if the old rod still kicks butt. Travel is still up, too. Folks who used to jet off to Patagonia are now road tripping regional hotspots, especially out West, loading up their racks and burning gas in search of the next honey hole.
And if you’re a rules-and-regs kind of person, 2025 has brought a raft of statewide changes. Think expanded trout stocking in cold-water lakes, new digital catch reporting requirements in North Carolina, and stricter size regs for bass and catfish just about everywhere. The updates have a double edge: better conservation for the future, but also more stuff to keep track of when you’re itching to get onto the water. Best advice, check the guidebooks and get your harvest numbers in, or you’ll be explaining yourself to a warden.
Before I let you get back to rigging up, don’t miss out on all the upcoming clinics and festivals. The Fly Shop’s 2025 North America Travel Magazine is out—perfect bathroom reading for winter days and packed with dream trips and untapped creeks. And if you’re looking to sharpen your skills, swing by Grand Rapids, Michigan this September for the FFI Flyfest. There’ll be casting workshops, river demos, and lots of fishy talk. Mark your calendar—you never know who you’ll meet by the water’s edge.
Thanks for tuning in, fishy friends. Come back next week for more tales, tips, and the latest from the streamside. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines, and see you on the water!
