Big news for the fly fishing community this month—grab your morning coffee and listen up. First off, Team USA just brought home the bronze again at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championship over in the Czech Republic. These folks put in five punishing days against the best in the world, and for the second year in a row, they landed a podium spot. Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina, even snagged an individual bronze. This isn’t just a trophy for the mantle—it’s a nod to some serious skill, grit, and pure love of the sport. There’s always a little side-eye when it comes to competitive angling, but the kind of camaraderie the American squad brings is just as much a part of the scene as the fishing itself, according to MidCurrent.

Over in Michigan, if trout and steelhead are your jam, there’s fresh news from the DNR this spring. New regulations kicked in for the 2025 season as of April 1. Say goodbye to that 20-inch minimum for steelhead on a few streams—these tweaks are meant to keep things healthy but dial up the flexibility for anglers. They’ve also put in single-pointed hook rules and a spearing ban on some port waters for November. So before you hit that first cast, check those regs on Michigan.gov or you could get a surprise you didn’t bargain for. And for the muskie folks, pay close attention: Thornapple and Lake Hudson now have a 50-inch minimum size for muskellunge, all in the name of preserving some prized Great Lakes bloodlines. It’s a proactive move to help future stocking and keep those trophy fish stories alive for years.

If you’ve been itching for a fresh adventure with a fly rod, Central Oregon has been absolutely lighting up this season. Jeff from The Fly Fishers Place says the Green Drakes are hatching more by the day, and that big ol’ Salmonfly hatch is in full swing across many stretches. There’s a new dock at Crane Prairie (finally!), which means easier lake access for everyone in the know. On the Metolius, match up your flies and you could be in for killer days with Pale Morning Duns or a surprise gnarly hatch or two. Fly shops are buzzing, the water’s flowing, and the mood is all about early summer stoke.

Finally, if you’re a fan of a good fishing film and maybe a cold beer with friends, the Fly Fishing Film Tour is packing out theaters across the country. This year is their 19th tour, hitting over 300 cities in 14 countries. Whether you're catching a showing in a classic old theater or a local brewery, nothing beats watching epic casts, wild rivers, and passionate anglers on the big screen. It’s a great way to shake off those mid-week blues or get pumped for your next trip.

Thanks for tuning in and sticking around for this week’s rundown. Be sure to come back next week for more local scuttlebutt and river news. This has been a Quiet Please production, and if you want to find out more or catch previous episodes, check out QuietPlease.ai. Tight lines out there!
