Plenty of hot buzz in the world of fly fishing this fall, and local rivers and fish shops have been humming with good gossip. First up, Idaho Falls is about to be the epicenter of the global fly fishing universe next summer. That’s right—the 4th FIPS Mouche World Youth and Ladies Fly Fishing Championship is happening July 12-19 in our own backyard. USAngling is hosting, and the event brings top women and youth anglers from around the world to legendary waters across the Snake River region. It’s shaping up to be equal parts competition and celebration, and if you’re around, don’t miss the chance to see international talent working classic runs you either grew up fishing or always wanted to try.

On the East Coast, New Jersey anglers just got a game-changing deal. Shawn Crouse from NJDEP’s Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries announced new regs for 2025—say goodbye to the preseason closure on all trout-stocked lakes and ponds. For the first time, 107 lakes and ponds are open 365 days a year, even for that anxious three-week stretch before Opening Day. You can fish, you can harvest, but with a two-fish-per-day creel limit leading up to the big weekend. This switch makes spontaneous winter fishing totally legal and gives us more time on the water, even if the weather is sketchy. Plus, their “buddy fishing license” program is back: bring a newbie (or two), get your licenses together, and everyone saves cash—smart move for getting friends hooked.

Now, for those of you craving fresh waters and high elevations, the Golden Trout Guiding Co. is planning big in the Eastern Sierra. The winter’s mild so far (they’re still praying for snow), but that just means the upcoming spring and summer season is booking up fast. Their 2025 Spring Clinics on the Owens River are focused on total beginners, so if you’ve got a friend who’s always wanted to try, this is the year to drag them along. The real bucket-list trip is the Golden Trout Excursion in late July and early August. It’s a weeklong mission to chase those pure-strain goldens in California’s wildest, most jaw-dropping creeks. Last year, folks were landing 40-100 fish a day, mostly on dry flies. Spots are almost full, but if this is your dream fish, now is the time to pull the trigger.

Lastly, on the gear front, Angling Trade reports that while pandemic newbies might be falling off, the die-hards are still getting after it, and road trips are king. Fly shops are seeing a boom from traveling anglers—record business in places like Colorado thanks to curious out-of-staters. And while the market for top-shelf rods is in a bit of a lull, insiders say we’re due for the next big “it” item soon. If your favorite 5-weight is starting to look tired, pay attention—some cool new launches are likely in the pipeline, especially as the industry resets.
