Big things are happening in the fly fishing world this summer and locals are buzzing—whether you’re tie-curious, a river regular, or just love a good fish story, you’ll want to hear what’s going down. First off, Island Park, Idaho is taking center stage as it hosts the 2025 Women’s Fly Fishing World Championship for the first time ever. Starting July 13 through the 18th, you’ve got anglers flying in from seven countries, ready to chase native cutthroat and wild trout in some of the most cherished water in the West. Team USA, with names like Melissa Smith who’s been hitting the international circuit hard, is looking to make their mark—if you want to see world-class casting and share a barstool with competitors from across the globe, now’s your shot. There’s even chances to volunteer or just soak up the championship vibe, recommend making the trek to check it out in person.
Closer to home, California anglers got some news worth noting: the state is giving the freshwater fishing regulations a facelift. This year, for clarity’s sake, they’ve pulled all the ever-changing rules and tweaks into the main regulations booklet, no more scrambling through a pile of supplements. They’re also running Free Fishing Days on July 5th and again on August 30th. So if you’ve got a buddy who’s always complaining about the license fee, drag them along—you can fish with no license, you just need your report cards if you’re chasing steelhead or salmon. Game wardens will still be keeping a sharp eye, so know your limits, but it’s a prime time to introduce newbies to the water and show them what it’s all about.
Now for the film buffs: the Stimmies Fly Fishing Film Awards wrapped up their biggest year yet. If you missed it, this event’s become a real centerpiece—tons of anglers and everyday folks voted, and feedback is that 2025’s crop of films is the best the Stimmies has ever seen. If you’re into fish stories, epic river journeys, or just want to see what’s inspiring the next generation of casters, check out the winning reels. Film events are rolling out nationwide, with the Fly Fishing Film Tour hitting over 300 cities—so odds are, there’s a screening with killer footage coming to a brewery or cinema near you. Bring your fishing buddies, grab a beer, and get fired up for your next trip.
Finally, a quick shout: If you’re fishing the Midwest, keep tabs on new state regs—Minnesota’s upped their sunfish daily limit on Deer Lake and tweaked a few lake sturgeon and trout season dates, so double check before you hit the water. And word is, Patagonia just teased their upcoming 2026 gear line, so if you’re gear-obsessed, you might want to keep a lookout for wader and pack updates dropping soon.
All right, that’s the latest from rivers and reels around the US. Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for another slice of what’s simmering in the world of fly fishing. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more or to get in touch, head over to Quiet Please Dot A I.
