If you’ve been tying flies at your vice dreaming about getting out there, this season has been all kinds of eventful for the American fly fishing community. First, some serious congrats are in order. According to MidCurrent, the USA Fly Fishing team just clinched their second straight bronze at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic. Michael Bradley out of Cherokee, North Carolina landed an individual bronze, beating out some heavy international hitters. Love or hate competitive fly fishing, you can’t deny these anglers put in the work—hard-earned bragging rights that definitely put the U.S. on the global radar.

Meanwhile, gearheads are eating good this spring. Hatch Magazine just dropped their Spring 2025 gear roundup, and the lineup is wild. Think tons of new rods, slick reels, next-level lines, expect more waterproof boots, revamped bags, plus fresh soft goods from all the big names. From the Driftless to the Snake River and down to the Gulf Coast, there’s something to stoke every kind of trout bum, carp nut, or ambitious redfish hunter. Basically, no excuse not to upgrade your setup if you’ve been waiting for the right spark.

For those itching for new water or maybe something a little left field, check out some of the state-level updates from this year’s regulation books. California’s Free Fishing Days are back on July 5th and August 30th, so if your buddy has been whining about license fees, no more excuses—just remind them they still need a report card if they’re chasing steelhead. Utah opens up spearfishing for chub all night long, artificial lights and all, and even airguns that fire arrows are now legal for common carp—yeah, you heard right, so keep your head on a swivel around local reservoirs. Over in Oregon, ocean salmon season details just dropped and the ODFW Salmon and Trout Advisory Committee is still taking feedback for 2025’s regulations—so if you have opinions, now’s the time to holler.

If you’re close to Colorado and want to geek out on all things native cutthroat—especially the newly rediscovered San Juan Cutthroat—Duranglers Fly Fishing Festival is coming up April 4th and 5th of next year. Local biologist Kade Jackson’s giving a talk, there’ll be casting clinics in the park, plus a chance for a free guided trip. And of course, there’s the mandatory Fly Fishing Film Tour to get your stoke up for the year.

That’s the word on the river, folks. Thanks for tuning in and come back next week for more news, tips, and off-beat stories from your fellow anglers. This has been a Quiet Please production—if you want more or want to check out the archives, tap into QuietPlease.AI. Tight lines, everybody!
