Well, my friends and neighbors — if it’s trout, smallmouth, or just a little quiet water therapy you’re after, there’s plenty buzzin’ in the world of U.S. fly fishing right now. So, pull up a rock, pour a lukewarm coffee from the Thermos, and let’s talk about a few things that might just lure you outta your easy chair and back to the stream.
First off, let’s tip our camo hats to the U.S. fly fishing team, which just took home the team bronze at the World Fly Fishing Championship in the Czech Republic—for the second year in a row. That’s no small feat, especially when you’re up against anglers from all over the globe who live and breathe this stuff. Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina, even hauled in a personal bronze, proving once again that American roots run deep in this sport. According to Midcurrent, the spirit at these competitions is something special–not just the fish, but the camaraderie among folks who normally wouldn’t cross paths. It’s a reminder that out on the water, it’s not about where you’re from, but where you’re headed—and sometimes, that’s just to the next bend in the river.
Now, if you’re closer to Michigan than the Czech Republic, you’ll want to hear about the new regulations brewing up north. The Michigan DNR’s got some tweaks for the 2025 season: steelhead regs have been lightened on some streams, a few muskie waters now have a new 50-inch minimum, and—get this—there are fresh rules for single-point hooks and even restrictions on spearing in places like Grand Haven and Muskegon come November. That extra fine print might not sound like front-page news, but for those of us who count on consistency for our favorite holes, it’s worth a flip through the full reg book before you rig up.
Down in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Mossy Creek’s weekly report is like a streamside chit-chat with your favorite guide. After months of rain, the rivers are finally dropping, clearing, and—most importantly—fishable. According to Mossy Creek Fly Fishing Forecast, high-country trout streams are in sweet shape, and dry-dropper rigs are the ticket in the afternoon, especially when you pair ‘em with a big terrestrial or beetle. Brookies are hitting about anything, and while the smallmouth bite’s been slow with high, muddy water, things should turn around soon. Keep an eye out for the South Fork to clear up, and don’t forget about Jackson tailwater and Spring Run if you wanna stay this side of West Virginia. It’s a whole new ballgame out there, and with cooler temps, August might just be the month to remember.
And let’s not forget the big screen— The Fly Fishing Film Tour is on the move, showing off the year’s best flicks in more than 14 countries and over 300 cities. The U.S. leg is rolling through towns like Lake City, Colorado, and Copperas Cove, Texas, this week. Grab some buddies, trade a few tall tales in the lobby, and let the pros do the casting for a night. The Fly Fishing Film Tour is always good for a few laughs, a little inspiration, and maybe even some new ideas for your next trip.
So, there you have it—team U.S.A. making waves, new rules in Michigan, Shenandoah’s rivers finally settling down, and a chance to kick back with fellow anglers at the movies. Not a bad lineup for a quiet week in July.
Thanks for tuning in, folks. Come on back next week—same time, same creek, for more of what’s happening in fly fishing. This has been a Quiet Please Production, and for more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Now, get out there, wet a line, and see what’s rising.
